Can you help me how to do that in a proper manner? Needless to

You likely upgraded this machine from squeeze or has been running
testing/sid
for a long time.
Yes. I set up the computer nine years ago, and habve tried to keep it
in the Debian/testing stream. I just lack some basic Debian
knowledge, and every once in a while I run into something like this
simply, because I just do not know what is going on.
Just remove the 'gdm' package, then proceed with the upgrade.

Thanks. I seem to have a hard time getting there. This is what I get
now:
# apt-get remove gdm
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gdm-themes : Depends: gdm (> 2.4) but it is not going to be installed
gir1.2-gdm3 : Depends: libgdm1 (>= 3.8.3) but it is not going to be
installed
gnome-shell : Depends: gdm3 (>= 3.5.90) but it is not going to be
installed
Recommends: gnome-control-center but it is not going
to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
Running apt-get -f install is not making any difference. There is
something else I should do here, I guess.

Petri
