Thanks for your help. I thought your suggestion was going to work. After running apt-get -f update several times, all the errors disappeared, but when I ran apt-get dist-upgrade I got several new ones and then after running it two or three times, apt seems to have erased all the programs from my /usr/bin directory.
I'm going to start over with a fresh install, but then I will have the same problem with apt finding multiple versions of some packages.
I used rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n' | sort | uniq -d | grep -v '^kernel'
It listed 206 packages with multiple installations.
Ew. Not so good.
The problem is that each package has the same version number and I can't seem to find a way to remove only one of them.
Yeah, you're out in royally hosed rpm database land...
How would I clean up the rpm database by hand?
First, I'd try:
# rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* # rpmdb --rebuilddb -vv
If that doesn't work, maybe: # rpm -e --nodeps packagename # apt-get install packagename
For all packages...
