Hmm, well, basically I wanted to do
# apt-get -u -t unstable install gnome-session
on one of my boxen (which is running woody ATM). This gets me a list
of
broken dependencies, and apt-get quits. Following those deps, I end
up
everywhere on said xlibs dependency (which, to be honest, I don't
understand, why does it want to install 4.1.0-16 when it wants a
version greater then 4.2.0 and such a version [4.2.1-9] is even
available?).
Because you have an older version installed, and you don't tell it to
upgrade that.
Sorry, I didn't get this one! I thought, deps would be handled
automatically?? If I tell it, for instance, to apt-get -u -t unstable
install openoffice.org, apt-get tells me that libc6 etc. (of which I
obviously have already an older, i.e. woody, version installed) will
be
upgraded. So, why does it not do that when trying to install
gnome-session?
Hmm. Did you maybe pin xlibs to the older version before with something
like xlibs=4.1.0-16 or xlibs/stable?
No. There is no /etc/apt/preferences at all.
If I check aptitude (thanks to l and ˜b), there are 2 broken packages
ATM, namely galeon-nautilus (which is installed) and fam, which is not
installed (but I don't know if this is of any relevance, I just report
it anyhow).
Furthermore, setting the default release to "woody" in apt.conf does
not have any influence, i.e. it still gives the broken deps if I rename
apt.conf.
What does apt-cache policy xlibs
say?
xlibs:
Installed: 4.1.0-16
Candidate: 4.2.1-9
Version Table:
4.2.1-9 0
500 ... unstable/main Packages
*** 4.1.0-16 0
