Bug#107362: apt incoherent
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
When I try to upgrade mutt, I get:
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
cgi-scripts: Conflicts: ncsa (<= 1.4.2-6) but it is not installable
console-data: Conflicts: kbd-data but it is not installable
ee2: libguile6: Conflicts: guile-lib but it is not installable
libjpegg6a: Conflicts: libjpeg6a (< 6a-12) but it is not installable
libpgsql2: Conflicts: libpgsql (< 6.3.2-16) but 6.3.2-16.1 is to be installed
tk4.2: Conflicts: tk42 (<= 4.2p2-4) but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages
Basically, it's not clear why I'm being told stuff like:
"cgi-scripts: Conflicts: ncsa (<= 1.4.2-6) but it is not installable"
This doesn't tell me why mutt isn't installable. This line doesn't
even make sense. Similarly for the other lines, though I've not looked
into them as deeply.
Here's some information on what my machine has on these packages:
