Hello!
Last weekend I tried to update my system (stable/testing/unstable). After I resolved all dependency problems with dselect I called 'apt-get dselect-upgrade' to install all the packages. I got a lot of messages about unmet dependencies. All of them covered programs I have already installed in my system. Some say: package x: Conflicts: package y but is not installable or package x: Conflicts: package y version a but version b is to be installed Example: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libgsm1: Conflicts: libgsm-dev but it is not installable libncurses4: Conflicts: ncurses but it is not installable transfig: xv-doc: Conflicts: xvdoc but it is not installable E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. E: Internal Error, problem resolver broke stuff Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue. Sometimes I get only one error, sometimes a lot of different errors. At the moment there are no packages set to hold. There are no dependency problems. And: I have another computer with Debian Linux with almost the same packages installed without any problems of this kind. I have the feeling that somehow somthing is broken. Is there a way to rebuild the package status from scratch? Thanks in advance Berthold Cogel
