Hi All, I am a newbie to Debian, but so far I am impressed with the stability and the tools available for upgrade / maintenance (apt, dpkg, dselect etc). While doing a weekly upgrade a couple of days ago I got error messages while using "apt-get upgrade"
There are 13 packages waiting for upgrade, but apt stops after these error messages: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Do you want to continue?
