I'd happily cut'n'paste the output here, but aptitude is not nice about that kind of thing, so a screenshot.

I haven't tried to force it because I like my system and am disinclined to break it, as forcing things has been known to do. I'm mostly puzzled as to why this has suddenly come to pass -- I've upgraded a whole lot of Linux and TDE since the last time I saw that particular error. -- dep

I couldn't make much sense of it -- aptitude is a kind of secret-handshake application -- but I went ahead and forced the install and at this point, several hours later (though no reboot) nothing bad seems to have happened. -- dep

The last announcement I've gotten says that R14.0.11 is "coming soon." Have I somehow missed another?

Hi Leslie,

Several of us are testing the R14.0.11 pre-release from trinity-sb. You could switch if you wish but it's so close to release that you might as well wait at most a few days before Slávek and the developers release it as the new stable TDE.
