I am slowly learning that but its the only gui package manager I can
usually trust, I've had aptitude destroy an install by essentially
formatting the disk 4 damned times now and it will never get another
chance. It follows dependencies until the disk is blanked and there is
no stopping it once it decides to clean house. No response to anything
you do from the keyboard, only the power switch or system reset, all 4
of which have only been recovered from by a re-install followed by
several hours of amrecover.
Now apt-get is bitching because it thinks I'm asking for version 3.0.3
but only 3.0.4 stuff is available:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libalien-wxwidgets-perl : Depends: libwxgtk3.0-dev (< 3.0.3~) but
3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is to be installed
Depends: libwxgtk-media3.0-dev (< 3.0.3~) but
3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE BROKEN PACKAGE????????????????????????????
