Coreutils is installed on your machine. But you are now pointing to an old woody depot and some packages there are trying to pull in the old fileutils. The coreutils package does not conflict with the old fileutils but instead provides and replaces it. A conflict between coreutils and old fileutils may have been desirable but is not a problem by itself. > I am using the following sources.list: > deb http://debian.crosslink.net/debian/ stable main > deb-src http://debian.crosslink.net/debian/ stable main > > deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main That looks like a bad mirror. Replace those with one of the mirrors listed in the official debian mirror list. http://www.debian.org/mirror/list This set should work fine. Of course you should pick a mirror set that is network close to you. deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free I strongly recommend specifying the Debian track explicitly with "sarge" instead of "stable". It has not been possible to simple allow the depots to change from old stable to new stable and upgrade without some manual intervention as documented in the release notes. So it is best to specify a specific target and then upgrade when you choose. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
