Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19progeny3, 0.5.3
Foolishly attempting to upgrade libc6 from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3 (needed for
some other package), I have somehow managed to confuse apt and/or
apt-get hopelessly.
This is on a Progeny Debian 1.0 system, running kernel 2.2.19, libc6
2.2.2-4. Problem first seen in apt 0.3.19progeny3, but persists after
upgrading manually to 0.5.3 (from Debian's "testing").
Background: I'm trying to install libguile9 from the "unstable"
distribution. I don't want to put "unstable" in my sources.list, so I
downloaded the .deb file and tried to install it manually:
# dpkg --install libguile9_1.4-12_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 56094 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libguile9 1:1.4-12 (using libguile9_1.4-12_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libguile9 ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libguile9:
libguile9 depends on libc6 (>= 2.2.3-1); however:
Version of libc6 on system is 2.2.2-4.
dpkg: error processing libguile9 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
libguile9
Since libc6-2.2.3-5 is in "testing", which *is* in my sources.list, I
decided to use apt-get to upgrade libc6. This is where my troubles
began:
# apt-get install libc6
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:

Conflicts: task-kdemultimedia but it is not going to be installed
I don't know if these were existing problems or only problems I would
have attempting to upgrade libc6. So I followed apt-get's advice and
tried to use "-f install":
# apt-get -f install

Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies...E: Internal Error in pkgMinimizeUpgrade
E: Unable to minimize the upgrade set
This happened with the current Progeny 1.0 version of apt-get:
# apt-get -v
apt 0.3.19 for i386 compiled on Apr 4 2001 10:59:38
I manually downloaded the .deb for apt 0.5.3 (from "testing") and
installed it with "dpkg --install", and the problem persists:
# dpkg --install apt_0.5.3_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 56094 files and directories currently installed.)

It looks as though apt is now completely broken: if I try to install
anything, I get the "You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to
correct these" message, and of course "apt-get -f install" fails every
time. Is there a secret stash of apt state I can blow away to put it
back into a sane configuration until this bug is fixed?
