On several machines I am running unstable. From time to time I install new packages on those machines by:
apt-get update; apt-get install xxx But instead of installing xxx, apt-get tells me to run apt-get -f install first. But this advise doesn't help me very much, because then I get unmet dependencies, for example: gtkhtml: Conflicts: libgtkhtml7 (<= 0.8.2-1) but it is not installable yyy: .... Then, the next thing I do, is to remove those packages and try again: dpkg -r gtkhtml yyy; apt-get -f install Sometimes this helps, othertimes I get new unmet dependencies, which are to my eyes completely unrelated to the removed packages. Therefore I iterate the process until it hopfully converges. But this was a hope only, which I lost after iterating for 7 or more times. If you know any solutions or suggestions, please let me know.
