Re: [PLUG] apt-get dist-upgrade gone haywire

[ARTHUR ALEXION <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

Pretty amazing.  The update kept choking on a library deb that (I suppose) was defective in that it contained conflicting file versions within itself.  I tried to apt-get remove it, and found that gnucash was dependent on it.  So I did an apt-get remove of gnucash (all the data is in kmymoney anyway) and after removing gnucash, it started setting up the remainder of the dist-upgrade.  Perl/locale complained a few times after that, but has since stopped.  The dist-upgrade is still running, and the problems have seemed to stop.
