Hi all, I'm having a problem upgrading a couple packages on my system. I am trying to do a dist-upgrade to my Debian box (running woody). The packages in question are
libgnomeprint-bin_0.25-0.1_i386.deb libgnomeprint-data_0.25-0.1_all.deb When I try to do the upgrade I get the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cache/apt/archives]# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libgnomeprint11: Depends: libgnomeprint-data (>= 0.25-0.1) but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. So I do an 'apt-get -f install' and I get yet MORE errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cache/apt/archives]# apt-get -f install <snip> Unpacking libgnomeprint-bin (from .../libgnomeprint-bin_0.25-0.1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnomeprint-bin_0.25-0.1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/gnome-font-install', which is also in package libgnomeprint6 Unpacking libgnomeprint-data (from .../libgnomeprint-data_0.25-0.1_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnomeprint-data_0.25-0.1_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe/pagd8a.afm', which is also in package libgnomeprint6 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnomeprint-bin_0.25-0.1_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnomeprint-data_0.25-0.1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) So I can't do the upgrade because I have "unmet dependencies" and I can't fix the dependencies due to the above errors! It's like a circular problem. I thought Debian was supposed to handle all dependencies automatically. I've done 'apt-get dist-upgrade' in the past and it has worked fine. Can someone tell me how to fix this? I want to have a "pure" system with no corrupt/broken dependencies, so I thought I should avoid forcing things (which I'm not sure how to do anyway). If someone can give me a hand with this I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance. Casey -- Casey Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.umaine.edu/~hender97/
