[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~] sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes -s install gedit=2.20.4-1 gedit-common=2.20.4-1 libgtksourceview2.0-0=2.0.2-1 --no-remove Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Starting Starting 2 Investigating rarian-compat Package rarian-compat has broken dep on scrollkeeper Considering scrollkeeper 21 as a solution to rarian-compat 9 Removing rarian-compat rather than change scrollkeeper Done The following extra packages will be installed: gedit gedit-common libgtksourceview2.0-0 libgtksourceview2.0-common libscrollkeeper0 python-gtksourceview2 scrollkeeper zenity Suggested packages: libgtksourceview2.0-dev The following packages will be REMOVED: rarian-compat The following NEW packages will be installed: gedit gedit-common libgtksourceview2.0-0 libgtksourceview2.0-common libscrollkeeper0 python-gtksourceview2 scrollkeeper zenity 0 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 1 to remove and 64 not upgraded. E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled. gedit has an unversioned scrollkeeper dependancy, which is also Provided by rarian-compat (which was installed on the system already), and yet apt-get decides that rarian-compat is broken and wants to remove rarian-compat and install scrollkeeper rather than the simpler option of sticking to the installed program. WTF? FYI, "apt-cache show rarian-compat" for the currently installed version of that gives: Package: rarian-compat Priority: extra Section: doc Installed-Size: 328 Maintainer: Frederic Peters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: rarian Version: 0.6.0-1 Replaces: scrollkeeper Provides: scrollkeeper Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6.1-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2.1), librarian0, libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1) Conflicts: scrollkeeper Me, I'm not seeing a dependancy on scrollkeeper.... -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Acquire ""; APT::Acquire::Translation "environment"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::Periodic ""; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Get ""; APT::Get::Show-Upgraded "true"; APT::Default-Release "stable"; APT::Cache-Limit "181943904"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; Dir::Log "var/log/apt"; Dir::Log::Terminal "term.log"; aptitude ""; aptitude::Delete-Unused-Pattern "^linux-image.*$"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $?
