Hmm... ok, buggy behavior is that apt recommends apt -f install, but that doesn't work [and no, apt doesn't recommend anything useful at that point]. As it turned out apt-get -f -m install did absolutely nothing. Installing the packages which I knew needed to be installed, using dpkg, didn't solve it either. What I did to "solve" the problem was: apt-get check apt-get -m dist-upgrade Perhaps apt should be recommending apt-get check instead of apt-get -f install? Perhaps the apt-get man page should have a section on problem resolution? I'm not sure... -- Raul
