Thanks to Scott and others who have been answering my questions. I still
have some troubles.
I am running Woody installed Nov 2001 on which I have successfully run
apt-get update
apt-get install aptitude
Per discussion in the release notes and upgrade notes, and on this list, I
ran the command:
apt-get dist-upgrade || apt-get -f install
I got the following error. Twice.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-applets: Depends: gnome-panel (>= 1.2.0-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2 (>= 0.11.0-1) but it is not going to be
installed
rep-gtk-gnome: Depends: libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2 (>= 0.11.0-2) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
The first time I tried
dpkg --audit
I got a bus error I cleared the screen and ran something else, then again.
to be sure I got what i thought, and I got this.
dpkg --audit
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 16531 package
`cpp-3.0':
`Depends' field, reference to `gcc-3.0-base': version contains ` '
This is the error I got from the second time I attempted to issue the
command.
This is supposed to be -- well, if not easy, then easier than other OS
upgrade. Doesn't seem to be. Somebody help me, please?
