You tried 'apt-get -f install'? At this stage you might ask youself whether the time and frustration involved in upgrading from something which is pre-Lenny is really worth it. Is there any practical reason why you should not do a new Squeeze install? If it were me in your situation I'd probably start by looking at what is on the system now and installing dpkg and its dependencies by hand using 'dpkg -i'. Others might counsel aptitude. Either way it could involve a a lot more effort from you and us than a new install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
