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.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it...
In Synaptic, at the bottom left, click on "custom filters" then click on broken, to view broken packages.
To fix broken packages, in the text menu, at the top, click on edit, then click on fix broken packages.
Good luck,
Kate

Magic!
Thank you. (I don't pretend to understand what it actually did, but it seems to have worked; nothing is reported as broken any more, and synaptic will now run updates again -- it refused to do so as long as it thought that there was a broken package.)
