dist-upgrade problem
My system is testing with a 2.4.20 kernel.
I just ran apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade.
Result:
Reading Package Lists . . . Done
Building Dependency Tree . . . Done
Calculating Upgrade . . . Failed
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde: Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not going to be
installed or
kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held Packages.
In fact, dpkg -l |grep kdebase reports ii kdebase-audiolibs 2.2.2.14
Unitl last week dist-upgrade always worked perfectly. Then, when I ran
it last week it completed the upgrade
but with a message that the file-rc and kudzu packages were being held
back so perhaps this is the problem. But,
if I run apt-get install file-rc, I get a warning message that 10
important packages and one essential package (sysvinit)
will be removed and so I must abort the install. There is also a
message that 85 packages would be upgraded even
though, as noted, I just ran dist-upgrade last week.
Does anyone know what is going on?
