Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gtk2-engines
Upon performing and aptitude dist-upgrade I am unable to get gtk2-engines to install for edgy eft. The issue even when attempted to be fixed by aptitude -f install fails to go away, and the error is shown below: Need to get 0B/343kB of archives. After unpacking 926kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y (Reading database ... 76112 files and directories currently installed.)
