Apt follows it's own extremely strict requirement of leaving no unsatisfied dependencies after any given operation to the point of self-termination. When doing dist-upgrades with apt you should always point it to all the target distro version's third party repositories you're using, not just the OS itself to avoid these things (and actually get a much smoother upgrade). Mm.. that's a bit unclear sentence perhaps, what I mean is that if you're using lets say RHL 9 with freshrpms and want to upgrade to FC1, you need to point apt to FC1 os component AND freshrpms built for FC1 before proceeding with the upgrade. - Panu - -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
