Help with Dependencies

[Wade Smith]

Hi all, new subscriber here.   I have looked all over the place for a solution to my trouble, finally turning to this list for some hope.   I am running Debian Linux on a SPARC64 box.  I attempted to do "apt-get dist-upgrade".   The upgrade was going fine, then it reached a point where it errored out.  Aftwerwards, I am unable to perform any kind of upgrade to the packages on the system.  Here is the typical messages I get back from apt-get:   debian:/etc/apt# apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libc6-sparc64 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 84 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 4185kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main libc6-sparc64 2.2.5-11.5 [4185kB] Fetched 4185kB in 13s (311kB/s) (Reading database ... 38550 files and directories currently installed.)

Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev-sparc64: Depends: libc6-sparc64 (= 2.2.5-11.5) but 2.2.5-11.2 is installed libc6-sparc64: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.2) but 2.2.5-11.5 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. debian:/etc/apt#     I'm sure there is a simple fix to this trouble, I simply have been unable to locate it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks,   Wade
