Hi All, I have been running a stable copy of lenny for the last 2 years without any issues (or use of unstable or testing packages). Tonight I attempted to upgrade to squeeze and have encountered an apparent conflict between the 'libmagic1' and 'file' packages which are preventing me from completing the upgrade. I have done the following steps:
1) apt-get update 2) apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: file: Depends: libmagic1 (= 5.04-5) but 4.26-1 is installed libmagic-dev: Depends: libmagic1 (= 5.04-5) but 4.26-1 is installed libpango1.0-0: Depends: libthai0 (>= 0.1.12) but 0.1.9-4+lenny1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. 3) apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libio-compress-zlib-perl libcompress-raw-zlib-perl libio-compress-base-perl libcgi-fast-perl Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following extra packages will be installed: libmagic1 libthai-data libthai0 The following packages will be REMOVED: libdatrie0 The following packages will be upgraded: libmagic1 libthai-data libthai0 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 432 not upgraded. 5 not fully installed or removed.

I googled and could not find anything about a conflict between the 'file' and 'libmagic1' packages, nor could I find anything on /etc/magic.mime that seemed relevant.
