I must be behind myself because I expected to see either 4.0 or testing/unstable there. > >What sources do you have listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list file? > > deb http://mirror.yandex.ru/debian/ lenny main > deb-src http://mirror.yandex.ru/debian/ lenny main > > deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main > deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main That looks okay to me. And very comforting to see network installation capability! Testing/Lenny may be in flux at this moment. I don't know. Something to keep in mind. > $ apt-cache policy coreutils > coreutils: > Installed: 6.10-3 > Candidate: 6.10-3 > Version table: > *** 6.10-3 0 > 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org lenny/main Packages > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Hmm... Strange that the locate here does not match the location in the sources.list. Possible though. Before doing anything else update the index Packages files. # apt-get update That might be the problem just by itself. If your index files (the Packages files) are out of sync then it would be causing problems. Since this is a time consuming operation it is usually done manually as needed. I always do an apt-get update the first time I run the commands in a day. Then I think you need to 'apt-get install -f' to have apt try to fix the dependencies. I would have it simulate the actions first and review them before committing them. # apt-get install --simulate --fix-broken What does that say? If it looks reasonable then simply have apt do it. # apt-get install -f I find apt-get most useful to me. I expect others reading this would recommend to use aptitude here instead.
