    Which version of Debian do you have? You might have success with the following command:
    Code:
    apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
    I've left the standard ''apt-get upgrade'' command out as it won't be aggressive enough to cure the dependency problem. Take notice of which packages apt-get wants to install/remove, though.
