I have it ready to install, but it won't let me install it because the other console-setup packages and other derivatives need to be updated.

I already did this with “dpkg -i”, but it won't let me.

I say this because if I install this package, the others I have installed are marked for uninstallation.

Therefore, I have to wait for updates to the other packages, such as console-setup and others from Xorg.

So, I wait a little while.

Cheers!
