just FYI, since today, everything is clean on my setup. No more un- upgradable packages. I didn't have to remove anything.
just a small glitch with libscim8c2a containing a file already provided by another package... not very interesting in itself at this point for Gutsy but it showed me that update-manager simply displayed a warning but let an unstable status behind. # apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
