problem with foomatic-db upgrading to unstable

[Sebastian Canagaratna <s-canagaratna@onu.edu>]

Hi:

 I burned two dvd's  this week of the unstable distribution. I was
 upgrading from testing but ran into trouble with foomati-db,
 foomatic-bin and similar packages because of some dependency problem. 
 I see from google that last year people had had trouble with this, but
 my office machine works OK ( in was installed last year end of
 December).  I don't seem to be able to run apt-get dselect-upgrade,
 and twenty odd programs have not been upgraded. HOw does one twll
 apt-get to forget the foomatic and upgrade as much as it can? I have
 tried everything as I know: apt-get -f install, apt-get -f dist-upgrade
 etc, but nothing seems to worK.  How does one proceed? I have not seen
 any answer with  google.


 Thanks.

 Sebastian
