Hi all, I'm having problems upgrading from 3.1.4 to the KDE 3.2 debs on my woody desktop. I've added the appropriate lines for my local mirror to my sources.list file did apt-get update but when I run apt-get -d dist-upgrade all I get is the following (I added -d cos I was a little hesitant about what it might do to my main desktop machine, but wanted to see what it would download)
It appears as if most of what apt wants to do is remove practically everything. Any ideas on how I go about diagnosing the source of the problem would be greatly appreciated. In case it makes any difference I run xfree86 4.2.1-15.backports.org.1 from backports.org. TIA, darwin:~# apt-get -d dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
