Unfortunately, I cannot duplicate this on my system. I have the circular dependency problem cupsys depends on libcupsys2 >=1.1.13-1 libcupsys2 conflicts with libcupsys2-gnutls10 cupsys depends on libcupsys2-gnutls10 with a few complications with kdelibs4 and kdelibs3 I have spent hours now trying to escape from this without success. The versions available don't work in any combination. Even removing the whole of kde doesn't seem to unknot the cupsys dependencies, and anyway that would deprive me of several apps I use. Evidently, to step back to the situation that was there previously, I would need to do subtle things that are beyond my comprehension at the moment with /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/preferences and so on. I'll have to wait it out. Let this be a[-nother] warning to those with working Knoppix based installations tracking testing not to get too adventurous and leap into unstable without good reason - and another computer to fall back on. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
