That doesn't float unforch:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libdbus-1-3 : Breaks: dbus (< 1.9.16-1~) but 1.6.8-1+deb7u6 is to be
installed
libfontconfig1 : Breaks: xpdf (<= 3.03-11) but 3.03-10 is to be
installed
libglib2.0-0 : Breaks: glib-networking (< 2.33.12) but 2.32.3-1 is to be
installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
So I've now commented that line back out of /etc/apt/sources.list.
Thank you for trying to help, Mark
