apt-get -f install Error

**Ngm_neco** · 01-15-2008

Hi, I want to make an "apt-get -f install" command to install and upgrade some programs (every apg-get install anypackage give me an error) , after changing the lines in apt/sources.list i get this error:

E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs

Apt-get tells me to use the Option "APT::Force-LoopBreak",
How do I do that ?
can I break my system if i do that ?

Best Regards.
Nicolas

Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/debian_version files.
Execute this

Code:

dpkg --configure -a

Does it throw any error message?

hi, here is the sources.list:

Code:

# /etc/apt/sources.list for Knoppix
# If you want to do a "full upgrade", you should first
# upgrade the Packages from Debian/unstable (KDE & Co.)
# before doing a (dist-)upgrade for Debian/testing.
#
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.

and teh debian_version

Code:

root@linux:~# cat /etc/debian_version
3.1

Is a Knoppix Distro.

When I do dpkg --configure -a :

Code:

Open sources.list file and put # sign before this line

Code:

deb http://debian.logiclinux.com/debian etch main contrib non-free

Save file and execute this

Code:

apt-get clean all
apt-get update
apt-get -f install

Hi , devils_casper ...
I have allways the same error:

Code:

root@linux:~# apt-get -f install
Leyendo lista de paquetes... Hecho
Creando árbol de dependencias... Hecho
Corrigiendo dependencias... falló.
Los siguientes paquetes tienen dependencias incumplidas:
  binutils: Depende: libc6 (>= 2.6.1-1) pero 2.3.2.ds1-16 está instalado
  binutils-dev: Depende: binutils (= 2.15-1) pero 2.18.1~cvs20071027-1 está instalado
  libc6-dev: Depende: libc6 (= 2.7-5) pero 2.3.2.ds1-16 está instalado
             Depende: linux-libc-dev pero no es instalable
  locales: Depende: glibc-2.7-1 pero no es instalable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generó cortes, esto puede haber sido causado por paquetes retenidos.
E: No se puede corregir las dependencias

I have a problem with libc6, 2.3.2.ds1-16 is installed but binutils needs >= 2.6.1-1 ??

Try apt-get update then apt-get upgrade binutils

Is there any reason for using Knoppix only? Its not recommended to install Knoppix. Package Manager problem is common in Knoppix. You should install any other distro thats is meant for HD installation only like Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora.

No, there is no reason, its for my kids, an old PC.
I choose this because it was the only one that start ...

Right now I'm downloading a version of debian 4.0R2.
