Package Troubles

[Capn_Fish]

I'm having issues with updates and just installing packages, especially "Depends on xyz but it is not going to be installed" and "___ has been held back."

Is this a repo issue? Can I revert back to Lenny to gain some semblance of stability?

Thanks.

What is in your sources.list?  I commented out all of the entry's present and placed this line in and have had no apt issues.  Du's have been smooth also.  You could change sid to etch and be fine I think.

Code: [Select]

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free

I have whatever's in the default rootfs. I'll try that, except maybe with Lenny.

How do I make the version in the repo automatically overwrite what's installed?

Thanks.

EDIT: Is that EABI or OABI?

Not sure what you mean by version numbers...  Just update your sources.list and then do the following.

Code: [Select]

apt-get update && apt-get install $software
I am running EABI.
