apt-get dist-upgrade failes on ssh
Hi guys,
Going from sarge to etch, I'm getting this:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ssh: Depends: openssh-client but it is not installed
Depends: openssh-server but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
then:
# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
openssh-client openssh-server
Suggested packages:
ssh-askpass xbase-clients rssh molly-guard
The following NEW packages will be installed:
openssh-client openssh-server

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
if I try to dpkg -i those packages by hand, I get the same problem.
Has anyone seen this? The result of the above is that apt-get
dist-upgrade aborted, leaving me with a non-functioning web/mail/dns
server. I have gotten mysql, postfix, courier and bind working again,
but still having issues with apache2. And of course my OS is now half
sarge and half unconfigured etch.
Thanks
Hans
