Re: Can I get some help with this? (Cleaning bad dependencies with APT)
1. I ran the autoremove since that was suggested after I ran "apt-get -f install".
It would appear that it is a never-ending loop of poor suggestions to resolving the problem.
2. I'm from RedHat and rpm so I'm still trying to get a grip on apt while having a workable system.
I'd like to get familiar with Debian and possibly switch, but I won't until I know I can keep the
system running while learning how to administer it.
3. Thanks for taking a look. REally I just want to set up subversion and make sure my cold backup
will work anywhere. I'd hate to lose 4 years and 5Gb of version control.
