Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 "dselect install" produces the following error on my system:
Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: giram-gnome-mesa: Depends: gdk-imlib1 (>= 1.9.8.1-1) but 1.9.10-3 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. E: Internal Error, problem resolver broke stuff Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue. "1.9.10-3" seems to be >= "1.9.8.1-1", so what's wrong? I have on hold packages that are old (like libttf2 and freetype2 in oldlibs) which I want to get rid of but not of packages that depends on them, so I have them on hold while waiting for updated packages. This system worked just fine in older version of APT (it could be some 0.3 or 0.4 version - I upgraded Perl (and therefore APT) just recently, after giving up waiting for working version). "apt-get -q -d -y -f -m -u upgrade" worked before, too... is there some new switch that I am missing? If I don't put giram-gnome-mesa on hold, apt-get (dselect install) tries to remove it. - Peter.
