I am running a fresh install (two weeks ago) of Etch, and I have been
using synaptic to install and update packages.
As a result of discussions on this thread, I just ran aptitude.
Aptitude tells me that there is a broken package, and suggested that,
because of dependency problems, I remove exim4, exim4-base,
exim4-daemon-light, ftp, netbase, nfs-common, ntp, ntp-simple, ntp-date,
openbsd-inetd, pidentd, telnet and I install nbstmp.
What is going on here? It appears to me that it is aptitude which needs
to be uninstalled. I suspect that the operation proposed by aptitude
would render my installation unusable and likely irreparable. My
inclination is to trust synaptic.
