Hello,

I've been using debian SID for quite some time now (over one year) and have an consistent problem for about 3 weeks now:

When I do apt-get dist-upgrade I get the following errors:

Each day new packages are added to the repository of SID but these "kept back" packages are always there. When I manually select them for install I get a "E: broken package" error. Is this happening to anyone else these days/weeks. I upgraded to X.Org, Gnome 2.10 and firefox 1.06.

Meanwhile I also have problems with my nvidia drivers: The Nvidia logo appears but there is no hardware acceleration. My kernel is 2.6.11-k7 and gcc 4 is installed (due to apt-get update). When I try to reinstall my nvidia drivers I get an error that the gcc libraries used to compile the kernel nd the ones on my system are different. What should I do?

Thank you very much in advance ...

I replied to this in your other post to the wrong forum

The upgrade to x.org probably caused you some problems. Use aptitude to find out which packages are broken. When you start aptitude, hit the b key and it will take you to the next broken package. It tells you at the top how many broken packages you have.

Some packages are simply not yet recompiled. The problem is libaspell15c which will uninstall all of kde and more and that's why it's being kept back. Thing I noticed that works ok is using "apt-get upgrade" till no packages are being kept back anymore then you can "apt-get dist-upgrade" to see if there was anything left to upgrade. Works fine on those packages as dist-upgrade will simply remove them.
