Attention Debian Guru's,
I did a bad, bad thing. This lappy is running Debian Unstable (Sarge) and it got it's monthly "apt-get dist-upgrade" today. I noticed a few packages were held back and decided I'd attempt a "manual" update on those after the 113 packages were upgraded (mostly XFree86 stuff).
So here I go with removal of the held back stuff: #apt-get remove cupsys cupsys-client gs-esp libcupsimage2 \ ~ libcupsys-dev pciutils
So far so good - everything gone. Now reinstall it all.... #apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client gs-esp libcupsimage2 \ ~ libcupsys-dev pciutils
pciutils went OK but I now have hosed CUPS and I'm unable to re-install! ~ Ooops. How the heck to I roll back to the previous (working) version???
Here's the details about what apt thinks:
# apt-get install cupsys Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 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:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: ~ cupsys: Depends: libcupsimage2 (>= 1.1.19final-1) but it is not going ~ to be installed ~ Depends: libcupsys2-gnutls10 (>= 1.1.20final-1) but it is not ~ going to be installed ~ Depends: libcupsys2-gnutls10 (= 1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4) but ~ it is not going to be installed ~ Depends: gs-esp but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
Oh dear :( I've tried including the stable repositories then using: apt-get -t stable cupsys = same result. apt-get -t woody cupsys = same result.
On a side note - why are the dependencies referring to different versions of "libcupsys2-gnutls10"?? If I try to install just "libcupsys2-gnutls10" the dependency matrix means that all my KDE+XFree86 stuff is also hosed (WTF?). Any ideas??
Cheers,
James
