System in broken state after dpkg upgrade
I have mixed wheezy/jessie system. When tried to upgrade cmake from
jessie, apt pulled other packages including dpkg which gave error
during configure:
root@debian:~# apt-get -t jessie install cmake
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libxmlrpc-core-c3
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
The following extra packages will be installed:
cmake-data dpkg fontconfig install-info libarchive13 libpipeline1 man-db
Suggested packages:
codeblocks eclipse ninja-build lrzip groff
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libarchive13
The following packages will be upgraded:
cmake cmake-data dpkg fontconfig install-info libpipeline1 man-db
