Help for damaged package management
Dear friends,
I have reinstalled a Debian machine after having my laptop tracking
unstable for a couple of years.
This time I wanted a testing environment with only a few packages I need
from unstable. I have tried using aptitude but now quit after it has
taken a few liberties I did not appreciate.
Back to my old apt-get/debfoster arsenal.
Here is my problem (showing I surely have some ignorance on how apt works):
After some time, I am now in the situation where apt-get upgrade (of
course after an update) does not want to upgrade the follwoing:
Package Current Latest
gcc-4.0-base 4.0.1-9 4.0.2-2
Now if I ask upgrading this package, the system wants to REMOVE
approximately 130 packages !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am therefore stuck.
How to fix this ?
Follows some config files.
Thank you very very much,
Bob
