Trying to up grade a laptop from sarge to etch. First tried apt-get
dist-upgrade and then tried aptitude dist-upgrade.
Both are stopping when trying to install mozilla-mplayer, it seems:
Aptitude reports:
Errors were encountered while processing:

$ sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade
174 upgraded, 63 newly installed, 6 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.

Any way to tell it to skip or remove mplayer for now?
Second question -- why does running Aptitude download additional
packages compared with apt-get dist-upgrade? Do they calculate
dependencies differently? Seems like there should only be one
dependency tree for the packages I have installed.
