Apt Upgrade Error
Everytime I do an apt-get upgrade, it always stop with this error message:
My source list uses etch & sid sources. Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 71151 files and directories currently installed.)

Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thnx. |
I don't have it installed.

It seems trying to remove a2ps is dependent on emacsen-common, and removing both gives the same or similar error. I can't seem to remove either.
Any other ideas? |
I posted a solution here

Thnx mos, I just followed along with the link to the other thread and from what I can tell, it seems to have worked.
I did have to remove and reinstall a2ps & the emacsen-common. So I was able to finish doing the apt-get upgrade and in the end, this appeared, not sure if its a problem or not 'Unpacking emacsen-common (from .../emacsen-common_1.4.16_all.deb) ... Setting up emacsen-common (1.4.16) ... emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common: line 10: [: !=: unary operator expected' |
