dist-upgrade from sarge to etch - package dependencies issues
Hi,
I am trying to upgrade my distribution from sarge to
etch.
Having upgraded successfully the 2.4 kernel to 2.6, I
update my sources.list (change sarge to stable, so I
get etch) and I run aptitude upgrade. Then ...
aptitude dist-upgrade
which unfortunately gives me these errors:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Reading task descriptions... Done
Some packages had unmet dependencies. 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.
(---I am not using an unstable distribution---)
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xlibmesa-gl: Depends: xfree86-common but it is not
installable
Conflicts: libgl1 which is a virtual
package.
xlibmesa-glu: Depends: xfree86-common but it is not
installable
Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual
package.
libglu1-mesa: Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual
package.
libfam0c102: Conflicts: libfam0 but 2.7.0-12 is to
be installed.
libgl1-mesa-glx: Conflicts: libgl1 which is a
virtual package.
I give you the results of dkpg -l for the above
packages:
myusername@myPC:~$ dpkg -l xfree86-common | grep ii
ii xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System
(XFree86) infrastructure
myusername@myPC:~$ dpkg -l libgl1 | grep libgl1
un libgl1 <none> (no description
available)
myusername@myPC:~$ dpkg -l libglu1 | grep libglu1
un libglu1 <none> (no description
available)
myusername@myPC:~$ dpkg -l libfam0 | grep libfam0
un libfam0 <none> (no description
available)
I have spend a few hours on this and I would
appreciate any help to resolve it and go ahead with my
dist-upgrade.
Thank you
D.
