Subject: apt-get has turned against me
Ever since I ran apt-get dist-upgrade on my newton installation
(from a Progeny Debian 2.2 CD set), apt-get has been fubarred.
Here's what's happening. If anyone has an idea about how to fix
this I would love to hear it:
beech:/home/issac# apt-get install quake2

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
at: Depends: mail-transport-agent
elm-me+: Depends: mail-transport-agent
mailx: Depends: smail but it is not going to be installed or
mail-transport-agent
mutt: Depends: exim or
mail-transport-agent
progeny-bug: Depends: mail-transport-agent
quake2: Depends: libsdl1.2debian (> 1.2.3) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: quake2-data but it is not installable
vm: Depends: smail but it is not going to be installed or
sendmail but it is not going to be installed or
mail-transport-agent
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

Where do I get the signed debs, or how do I tell apt-get to shut up and
install?
Many thanks,
