Do you mean that also xbel-utils will stop working in unstable Debian and later on testing and stable, too? > > APT policy: (1001, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (500, > > 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (101, 'unstable') > You have quite a broken setup here I found no reason to have teh > stable suite while you use (and prefer) the under-development suites > (testing and then unstable). I have released my apt-configs here: http://iki.fi/juhtolv/configs/debian/apt/ After downgrading umpteen packages I was able to install xbel-utils back. I swithced my configs to unstable (as seen in that file 000README.txt). Then I gave commands "aptitude update" and "aptitude -Z -V -f -D -v -v -v -v -v --without-recommends dist-upgrade". This is what happened then: The following packages will be upgraded: adesklets [0.6.1-5 -> 0.6.1-5+b1] gdesklets [0.36.1-3 -> 0.36.1-4+b1] gimp [2.6.8-1 -> 2.6.10-1] <+12.3kB> gimp-data [2.6.8-3 -> 2.6.10-1] <+1,790kB> libgimp2.0 [2.6.8-3+b1 -> 2.6.10-1] <+119kB> python [2.5.4-9 -> 2.6.5-7] <+106kB> python-minimal [2.6.5-5 -> 2.6.5-7] <+57.3kB> python-sqlalchemy [0.6.1-1 -> 0.6.2-1] <+729kB> xgridfit [2.1-1 -> 2.2a-1] <+90.1kB> The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: python-sqlalchemy-ext (R: python-sqlalchemy) 9 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 3,273kB/21.2MB of archives. After unpacking 2,904kB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: python-xml: Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.5-7 is to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) python-xml 2) xbel-utils Accept this solution?
