Hi all,
I got a wired problem upgrading woody to sarge. I'm not able to
upgrade shellutils.
I had setup preferences and sources list for pinning with unstable.
This might be the reason of my problem.
Now I got only testing and stable/upgrade (security) in my sources
list and I moved preferences to preferences.old.
Nevertheless I got these results:
debian:/home/gerhard# apt-cache policy coreutils

What can I do now to progress with dist-upgrade.
dselect also runs into a loop with this problem.
Any advice is apreciate.
Thanks in advance
regards
gerhard
