Debian dist-upgrade problem


Hi!

I have a problem with my Debian system. I'm using mostly testing packages, and I tried upgrading my system today:

# apt-get -u dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxft-dev: Depends: libxft2 (= 2.1.2-5) but 2.1.2-6 is installed
x-window-system-core: Depends: xlibmesa-dri but it is not installed
Depends: xlibmesa-gl but it is not installed
Depends: xlibmesa-glu but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.


I've tried installing the unstable versions:

# apt-get install libxft-dev/unstable xlibmesa-dri/unstable xlibmesa-gl/unstable xlibmesa-glu/unstable
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Selected version 2.1.2-6 (Debian:testing) for libxft-dev
Selected version 4.3.0-7 (Debian:testing) for xlibmesa-dri
Selected version 4.3.0-7 (Debian:testing) for xlibmesa-gl
Selected version 4.3.0-7 (Debian:testing) for xlibmesa-glu
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xlibmesa-dri: Conflicts: xlibmesa3-gl but 4.2.1-12.1 is to be installed
xlibmesa-gl: Conflicts: libgl1
Conflicts: xlibmesa3-gl but 4.2.1-12.1 is to be installed
xlibmesa-glu: Conflicts: libglu1
Conflicts: xlibmesa3-glu but 4.2.1-12.1 is to be installed
xlibmesa3-gl: Conflicts: libgl1
xlibmesa3-glu: Conflicts: libglu1
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I've tried the specified solution:

# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libxft-dev xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-glu
Suggested packages:
libglide3
The following packages will be REMOVED:
xlibmesa3-gl xlibmesa3-glu
The following NEW packages will be installed:
xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-glu
The following packages will be upgraded:
libxft-dev

Hi there,

This is what you do now.

Rename Xft.h and Xft1.h to Xft.h.old and Xft1.h.old respectively. And then do 'apt-get -f install'

I'm not too sure why this error comes... I got it on my system too, and it works fine now.

I don't know if i'm reading you correctly, you are on Sarge and want to dist-upgrade to Sid?

The usual procedure is :

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list

and change them to read 'sid'

#apt-get update
#apt-get dist-upgrade

If OTOH, you just want to dist-upgrade WITHIN sarge,:

#apt-get update
#apt-get dist-upgrade
