lenny has becoome stable yes but dont remove the unstable as puredyne uses a mixture of testing and unstable the new testing is called squeeze so change all the lenny entries to squeeze right now we have a slight problem so leave the GOTO10 repos as lenny deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib # Custom repositories # GOTO10 deb http://debian.goto10.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian.goto10.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free # Debian Multimedia deb http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ squeeze main deb-src http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ squeeze main deb http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ unstable main deb-src http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ unstable main # Debian Unstable deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free can you give full details on the errors that you get from aptitude i had a similar problem because one if the packages is broken libgig6 this is a dependency of qsampler which is part of the puredyne metapackage so as this is broken it tries to remove the whole of puredyne - you need to force the upgrade of libgig6 to the unstable version as far as i remember aptitutde usually gives you options of solutions are you happy with this solution y/n/q etc. first lets see your aptitude errors then we can take it from there... rob > > > -- > JM > > --- > [email protected] > irc.goto10.org #pure:dyne > -------------- [email protected] rob.goto10.org --------------
