Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2

ARGH!! This is the second time I have tried to upgrade a debian system
that hasn't been used in a while and the second time it craps out with
this sysvinit conflict/pre-depends loop.

On the other system, I did the force option, and it so screwed the
system up that I just uninstalled debian and put netbsd on it.  On this
one, that's not really an option, so I need this to work.

So trying to apt-get install packages one by one and I eventually get
to:

# apt-get update

Its funny right?

# apt-get install gpgv

... whatever... I went on #debian and tried to get irc help, always a
bad idea, and I'm just done with debian, this thing, it comes down to
some apt dependency with libc and who knows

apt-get with no force options should not break a system.  But yeah, you
get what you pay for they tell me.

It might not be what you say, but how you say it.


Anyway, my motivation to help a user insulting us is subzero and as this isn't
really an apt bug, but a user-support problem I am going to close this report
as its unlikely to help anyone and after 6 years of no comment its also
unlikely that someone will come along who has a higher motiviation to help out…


Bye bye,
