Sort of - but it can actually do the install: The following packages are BROKEN: package-system The following packages have unmet dependencies: package-system: Depends: package1 (= 2.1.88) but it is not installable Depends: package2 (= 2.1.88) but it is not installable Depends: package3 (= 2.1.88) but it is not installable The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Install the following packages: package1 [2.1.88 (unstable)] packge2 [2.1.88 (unstable)] packge3 [2.1.88 (unstable)] Selecting yes goes ahead and installs package1 2 and 3 followed by package-system How can a package that is "not installable" then be installed??!
