Hi Greg,

I used apt-get, because thats what the squeeze release notes recommended.

What I did was apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get dist-upgrade.

apt-get -f install gives me a list of packages to deinstall, a good number of which seems to be trinity or trinity-related. I figure that aptitude full upgrade will deinstall as well.

What method did you use to upgrade? apt-get, aptitude, synaptic ? Using apt-get
from the cli has a couple of options.

The unmet dependencies could be caused by the method of upgrading,
'apt-get dist-upgrade' allows installation of new dependencies, 'apt-get upgrade'
only upgrades existing packages. Also 'apt-get -f install' will try to 'fix' a
failed upgrade.

The release notes seem to prefer apt-get over aptitude, a reversal from the Lenny.
release. I normally try all cli install tools when something like this happens,
don't use gui stuff. My preferred package manager is still 'dselect' .

Peace,
