From: Anand Sivaram on 30 Apr 2010 07:20 That looks like a problem. You have unstable version of gcc-4.4-base (4.4.3-9) installed, but now your unstable/sid is commented out. So when you try to install g++ which has dependency on gcc-4.4-base, it is trying to revert the gcc-4.4-base to that of squeeze (4.4.2-9). Install the package "apt-show-versions", that could show your what is installed and from which version. So either revert gcc-4.4-base to that of squeeze or uncomment the sid line, do an update and install "aptitude -t unstable install g++" to get sid version. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Setting the default release will keep the system tracked to, in this case, testing. How did the packages from sid get installed in the first place? If you're tracking something, you have to give it an explicit "aptitude install -t sid <package>" command, right?

If there is a versioned dependency that can be satisfied from sid but not testing, you will get the package from sid. This shouldn't happen given the way testing is managed, unless you installed at least one package from sid. > How did the packages from sid get installed in the first place?

It would only happen if someone manually fixed up testing and did it wrong. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
