This is what I get i dpkg - Debian package management system > > Then I'd look at your sources.list. Tried changing that -- no change in effect Now aptitude dist-upgrade The following NEW packages will be installed: dpkg:i386{ab} libbz2-1.0:i386{a} libjpeg62-turbo:i386{a} libsystemd0:i386{a} some other stuff The following packages have unmet dependencies: dpkg : Conflicts: dpkg:i386 but 1.17.23 is to be installed. dpkg:i386 : Conflicts: dpkg but 1.17.13 is installed. So I can only conclude that aptitude sees the need to upgrade from .13 to .23 but for some reason it cant 'get out' of the installed dpkg:amd64 > > Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
