Package: GDM Version: 2.20.2 I upgraded my distro to lenny. Recently, auto updates reported conflicts and the package package was to be held back. I decided to intervene and ran these commands as suggested
apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade apt-get -u dselect-upgrade dselect apt-get install gdm apt-get autoremove apt-get install gdm Not sure which step removed gdm but then I couldn't get a login screen on startup, just a terminal. I then installed gdm but apt-get had to remove the gnome package. Now it appears that gdm and gnome don't want to co-exist. tp3:/home/vince# apt-get install gnome Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.14.3.6) but it is not going to be installed Depends: gdm-themes but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages This is the contents of sources.list deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
