Hi, I am having difficulties upgrading to version 2.2r4. I ran $ apt-get update $ apt-get -u dist-upgrade
and the following error keeps coming up : You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: python-gnome: Depends: libglade-gnome0 but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. when I try to install libglade-gnome0 I always get the following error: $ apt-get install libglade-gnome0 Preparing to replace libc6-dev 2.1.3-13 (using .../libc6-dev_2.1.3-19_i386.deb) ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute old pre-removal script: Permission denied dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new pre-removal script: Permission denied dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev_2.1.3-19_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Permission denied dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 even if I try not to install python-gnome (using dselect for example) or run $ dpkg -f install I always get similar errors (Permission denied) $ dpkg --remove --pending (Reading database ... 18378 files and directories currently installed.)

I also checked the Debian mailing list. . . Any ideas ? Thanks a lot. Robert Walker
