Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: important
>From dselect, I started the install (using apt), and it said it wanted
to remove packages xv and mtv (the latter is an alien package). I
aborted the install, went back and put holds on those two packages, and
tried the install again, and got these messages:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
mtv: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.94) but 2.2.4-1 is to be installed
xv: Depends: libjpeg62 but 6b-1.3 is to be installed
Depends: libz1
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Internal Error, problem resolver broke stuff
I've never seen this strange behavior before. The libc6 and libjpeg62
packages are not even being upgraded--they are already at versions
2.2.4-1 and 6b-1.3, and they've been living peacefully with mtv and xv.
