Help upgrade
I've been here before and recovered, but I need help again. I have a Debian
Unstable install that I'm trying to get up to date. When I try to upgrade
or dist-upgrade, I get a bunch of packages held back, and in trying to
install 2, I get various errors. I've tried apt-get -f install, and I've
tried removing various packages that apparently have unmet dependencies.
I've gotten rid of several problems, but I am stuck with one related to KDE.
And why are so many being held back? Thanks - John
Here's one sample scenario, but there are a couple of others:
