I wouldn't do a dist-upgrade right now, because these things are broken. See bug #361874: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361874 > Of course I could choose not to upgrade at all because everything is working > just fine but what's the fun in that... > > Any recommendations on what options are useful in these situations? -f fix > broken? -f fix broken is good to know, but here I would use the 'hold' mechanism on libtasn1-2 and libtasn1-2-bin, the two packages that were updated to cause the problem. I'm not sure what aptitude's method for holding packages is (I use dselect) though the man page should be enlightening. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Go out and tell a lie that will make the whole family proud of you. -- Cadmus, to Pentheus, in "The Bacchae" by Euripides -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
