Hi, everyone - I have a fresh woody install and am tracking testing. Or at least I think I'm tracking testing... I'm still pretty new to Debian-style packages. :-) Here's my /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 70 The reason I'm confused is that dselect is trying to upgrade textutils 2.0-12 to textutils 2.1-1 and is complaining about a conflict with coreutils 4.5.1-2. Apparently, both of them try to install /bin/cat: --- Get:1 http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu testing/main textutils 2.1-1 [822kB] Fetched 822kB in 5s (157kB/s) (Reading database ... 83759 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace textutils 2.0-12 (using .../textutils_2.1-1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement textutils ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/textutils_2.1-1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/bin/cat', which is also in package coreutils dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/textutils_2.1-1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) --- There are some bugs that talk about mutual dependencies between coreutils and fileutils in unstable, but I didn't see anything about this particular problem in testing. Has anyone else run into it? I've temporarily pinned textutils at 2.0-12 to get past the issue but I'd like to figure out what's going on with the packages. thanks much, Jeff Cours -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
