Yeah, I ran into that tonite. Get the new libdb2 package. If it wont install, go directly to /var/cache/apt/archives and install the package by hand with: dpkg -i libdb2_2%3a2.7.7-2.1_i386.deb Then you might have to also maually install the ld.so package. Then rerun apt. NOTE: I have found it is NOT a good idea to use apt-get dist-upgrade with unstable. Use apt-get upgrade instead. It gives you a chance to see what is going to get left behind. As a matter of fact, my usual procedure is: apt-get update apt-get -s upgrade Look at what package are NOT going to be upgraded and check out why with apt-get -s install <package> The -s option SHOWS you what it would do without really doing it. You get a chance to see ahead of time if things are gonna get removed.
