Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 When I try to upgrade mutt, I get:
Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... 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: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: cgi-scripts: Conflicts: ncsa (<= 1.4.2-6) but it is not installable console-data: Conflicts: kbd-data but it is not installable ee2: libguile6: Conflicts: guile-lib but it is not installable libjpegg6a: Conflicts: libjpeg6a (< 6a-12) but it is not installable libpgsql2: Conflicts: libpgsql (< 6.3.2-16) but 6.3.2-16.1 is to be installed tk4.2: Conflicts: tk42 (<= 4.2p2-4) but it is not installable E: Sorry, broken packages Basically, it's not clear why I'm being told stuff like: "cgi-scripts: Conflicts: ncsa (<= 1.4.2-6) but it is not installable" This doesn't tell me why mutt isn't installable. This line doesn't even make sense. Similarly for the other lines, though I've not looked into them as deeply.
