Are you out of disc space?
df -h
If you still have room left try this:
apt-get -f install
I am getting the following error message:

I may have found a solution:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libxmuu1_4.3.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb
and so on for all of:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libsm6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/libx11-6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb

If that doesn't work I'll try Stephen's solution.
My method worked. But thanks Stephen and the others. Apt-get is working normally now.
I did have one problem. When I restarted later that day after the upgrade ypbind was stuck on. There is a separate Message for that in the forum.
The KDM would not log me or my girlfreind on our user accounts as default. It just kept bouncing back to the kdm login screen. If this happens to you try clicking on kde3 or (your favourite window manager. That worked for us.
Your method was the same as Stephens. It is a very common use of apt.Originally Posted by FelixDzerzhinsky
So it was. I need glasses!
