Isaac, I'm not sure if this will work for you or not, but are the said .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archive/partial by any chance? If so remove them from there. Could be a corrupt download I think. If they are in /var/cache/apt/archive i'd be tempted to delete said affected .debs as well. Go via dselect if you. Run dselect from the prompt, choose your source (in this case i'd go with option 6 (I think it's six) which is apt. Then run thru each step at a time that is presented. Check for any required dependencies.
Dave PS I had similar problems to this when going to kde 3.0.3 and this suggestion worked for me. -----Original Message----- From: Issac Trotts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 2 October 2002 4:48 AM To: Debian User; David Pastern Subject: apt-get has turned against me Ever since I ran apt-get dist-upgrade on my newton installation (from a Progeny Debian 2.2 CD set), apt-get has been fubarred.
