Hello, I just installed Debian 2.2r2 on a Pismo from the official install CD, and everything went fine. Yet I am facing some problems with apt-get:
/etc/apt/sources.list contains: deb http://[mirror]/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://[mirror]/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free Running # apt-get update leads apt-get to download the corresponding "Packages" and "Release" files without any error or warning messages. Besides, # apt-get check doesn't report any dependency problems. Yet when I run # apt-get -d upgrade I get the following output: Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tre... The following packages have been kept back: [long list of packages] 112 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 125 not upgraded. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: debianutils: PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.2.1) but 2.1.3-13 is to be installed. E: Internal Error, InstallPackages was called with broken packages! How can I avoid this? '# dpkg -p libc6' shows that I already have version 2.1.3-13 installed, so why doesn't apt-get just download the latestet version? I also tried to download jed and links: # apt-get -d install jed Reading Packages Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following extra packages will be installed: jed-common libc6 libc6-dev locales slang1 The following packags will be REMOVED: g++ libstc++2.10-dev task-c++-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: jed jed-common 4 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 3 to remove and 230 not upgraded. Need to get 9502kB of archives. After unpacking 6380kB will be used. Do you want to continue[Y/n]? Why does apt-get wish to remove the GNU C++ compiler together with libstdc++2.10-dev and the task-c++-dev? Another try: # apt-get -d install links Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following extra packaged will be installed: libc6 libc6-dev locales The following packages will be REMOVED: g++ libstdc++-dev2.10dev task-c++-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: links 3 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 3 to remove and 237 not upgraded. Need to get 8995kB of archives. After unpacking 4833kB will be used. Do you want to continue[Y/n]? I am not sure, but I think that my installation of Debian is "sane" since I installed it directly from the CD usind dselect and it didn't report any problems with my choices - what am I doing wrong? Thank you for any input, Manuel
