Basically APT can't handle the dependency problem that develops here. Basically look in /var/cache/apt/archives. You should have libpam0g and libpam-modules in there. Here is the exact commands I used: cd /var/cache/apt/archives dpkg -i libpam0g_0.76-12_i386.deb libpam-modules_0.76-12_i386.deb Then I could dist-upgrade to my hearts content. I am sure this problem will go away eventually, but for the immediate future here you are. -- Arthur H.
