Re: GConf-CRITICAL problem etc. while upgrading Lenny

[Nick Syrotiuk <syrotiuk@manchester.ac.uk>]

Hi,

apt and aptitude are stuck again:

"Building dependency tree... 50%"

It just hangs.

I really wish I had Super Cow powers to solve these problems but I 
don't.  :)

What's a good way to proceed?  My system remains a complete mess.  It 
was so perfect just yesterday...

Regards,
Nick
