Re: apt-get update, upgrade and install not success, please help



Eric,

The only thing I can say is try different sites. What I usually do is this.
1. Download netinstall(you need wget so install it if you don't have it)
apt-get install netselect
2. Use netselect-apt <type>. <type> is a non terminal that can be broken down like this:
<type> ::= stable | testing | unstable

ex:
bash$ netselect-apt stable

3. That should generate a list of the fastest connection in sources.list in the CURRENT directory. 4. Move that sources.list into /etc/apt/. You can backup your old sources.list by renaming it sources.list.old
5. Run apt-get update

I always go with stable. I'm pretty new at this debian stuff too but apt is freaking awsome. I'm never going back to Redhat or any other distros for that matter.

progeny:~# apt-get update
Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Release
Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Packages
Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Release
Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/non-free Packages
Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/non-free Release
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

It seem ok.
then I apt-get upgrade

progeny:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgtk1.2: Depends: gconv-modules but it is not installable
  locales: Depends: glibc2.2 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

  welcom any hint , appreciate your time to help

sincere Eric
