I recently tried to download and install software using apt-get install. The

details below:
apt-get install –no-remove xcdroast
13 upgraded, 13 newly installed, 2 to remove and 500 not upgraded.
E: Packages need to be removed but Remove is disabled
As seen in the above, 2 files are to be REMOVED: initrd-tools and
kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386
The second one of these is the kernel I am currently using, and should therefore not be removed, and I guess that initrd-tools should also not be removed.
What is the cause of this problem?
(Note: It is not due to my kernel being a bit old. Others have posted questions
about this problem already, and they were using more modern kernels.
Unfortunately no solutions were posted.)
You have 500 packages not upgraded. It seems you are mixing different
releases. You probably attempt to install xcdroast form a 'newer'
version than the rest of your 500+ packages.
Suggestion: bring your system in sync; possibly by upgrading to sarge,
as described in
http://www.de.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
If you are mixing different releases on purpose, you have probably
encountered a situation where this doesn't work due to dependency problems.
Hope that helps,
Johannes
