i'm still on a slink kernel, so i thought i'd
have apt-get tell me what was available by using
a wildcard -- it's always responded with a list
of items, and then asks for confirmation before
actually downloading anything. thus i know it's
safe to ask...
so i tried a 'shot in the dark':
# apt-get install kernel\*

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
kernel-patch-2.2.12-pc9800: Conflicts: kernel-patch-2.2.10-pc9800 but
2.2.10.0.002pre.19990627-2 is to be installed
kernel-patch-2.2.13-kdb: Conflicts: kernel-patch-2.2.10-kdb but 0.5-2
is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

my /etc/apt/sources.list is:
# Use for a local mirror - remove the ftp1 http lines for the bits
# your mirror contains.
# deb file:/your/mirror/here/debian stable main contrib non-free
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especial
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free
# deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US frozen non-US main contrib
non-free
and i don't know why it selected 'powerpc' anything--i'm using
an amd-style i586...
is it me, or did something break?
