I tried to update my debian stable TDE-based system this morning, and received this error message:

Synaptic is reporting a broken package, but the instructions as to how to proceed in this situation are exceedingly unclear.
Anyway. Something is obviously wrong, and it appears to be a TDE packaging error of some kind and I thought I should post here to put the issue before people who understand this a lot better than I do.

I also got that same message, and now I am stuck because of broken packages held.
So I tried again just now since the broken package line disappeared, but it got back into that state again so I repeated the install click because the version was identical, and tde-base went in and fixed it this time, but dpkg went over all 85 updates the second time too. Wierd. Now I'll reboot because it wanted to.
