looking at my woody (i386) system here, i can't see any packages that depend on libopenldap-runtime, other than libopenldap1 and then nothing depends on that. why are you installing libopenldap-runtime at all? (if you wanted to install ldap stuff, you should be using the openldap version 2 packages "slapd" and "ldap-utils", rather than the version 1.2 "openldap*" packages) > I tried using apt-get -f dist-upgrade or removing the > libopenldap-runtime package but with no success.
