I can't install or upgrade anything right now as dselect and apt both hang (taking my system load to 1.0) while trying to "Correcting dependencies..." I'm using Potato, of course. Heh.
Here's output from dselect: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Merging Available information Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available. Information about 4108 package(s) was updated. Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies... And here it is from apt-get -f upgrade: quasar:/etc/apt# apt-get -f upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies... I've never seen this before and it must not be a common problem since searching at: http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/#search didn't get me any info, or on the web in general for that matter. Some context that might be useful: I was having a problem the other day when I was trying to add some debs during install, as I was getting some errors, so I exited dselect after getting the errors (general install errors, it appeared) and then I commented out a line for a site in /etc/apt/sources.list that has some new kde debs and then went back to dselect. I updated again and didn't get errors from the kde deb site but started to get the "correcting dependencies" hang forever problem. I assume that the database what have you that keeps track of dependencies is corrupt, or something of the sort. If I recall correctly, libc6 was recently upgraded? Any ideas/insights appreciated. I'm sure I've pooched something so please just send ideas on how I can fix my system. ;-j -Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED]
