I'm using debian unstable. Evolution is & has been working on my system for some
months although I only recently "upgraded" to unstable. The actual error message
is:-
when I run apt-get upgrade>;
You might want to run apt-get -f install to correct these
the followng packages have unmet dependencies
evolution: depends: on libpisync0 but it is not going to be installed
E: unmet dependencies try using -f
I then do apt-get -f install & it says it is going to install libpisync0
Says the following new package will be installed
libpisync0
it then stops with:-
errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libpisync0_0.1.7-7_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Returns me to the prompt.
Non of the non evolution stuff gets updates (136)
