apt-get: why is libssl0.9.8 not upgraded?

coralsaw · 01-06-2006, 02:14 PM

Hello,

When I try to do an apt-get upgrade (or dist-upgrade) on my testing installation, I get the following dialog:

Quote:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Reading task descriptions... Done
Building tag database... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
libssl0.9.8
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 2645kB of archives. After unpacking 4096B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y
Writing extended state information... Done

The problem is that libssl is never upgraded, if I run again apt-get upgrade it asks me to upgrade it again. How can I figure out what's wrong with the dependencies?

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

What does this show?

dpkg -l libssl

You might also try it again today. They may have fixed a minor bug.

stressadis google search 'debian etc install php5' should give leads for php5 on sarge and etch/sid. Good luck.

that should be apt-get install --reinstall libssl0.9.8, also you might want to try apt-get -f install. If not try purging it like so apt-get remove --purge libssl0.9.8 then try installing it again.
