knoppix , yes

Well that's why you have packages from different branches then.
Upgrading to unstable might be a PITA or hopefully not, but I think it's still worth it because installing new packages will be easier after you've managed to upgrade once. A lot of people never upgrade their install though. A matter of taste I suppose.
If you want a distro that's pure sid try kanotix which is what I'm running.

What will happen is that it's going to upgrade the whole system to unstable so you'll probably want to check commands like
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/package.......deb
A shorter way to do this would be a dist-upgrade but from what I've read, others have had lots of problems with that command.
FWIW you might want to repeat the -t unstable install with the other packages as well or at least check them with policy to find out whats downgrading your system.
but i had installed and i have been with Sid unstable. HOw did it become "testing" ?
I think knoppix is standard set to testing, although klaus has added some unstable packages.
dist-upgrade doesnt give *me* any problems, so you might change testing to unstable, then do an apt-get dist-upgrade.
but mixing branches is no problem, I have stable, testing and unstable packages. only unstable packages might give problems now and then, but unstable has been quite stable the last months.

What do you have in apt.conf? Testing or unstable?
It still tries to get testing, so what command did you issue?
apt-get dist-upgrade unstable?

in apt.conf i changed testing to unstable
The distro-upgrade command gives me the same dependacies errors.
apt-get upgrade though gives me all these :
apt-get upgrade

Run apt-get -f install as root to get apt-get unstuck first. If it still reports a breakage at the first package it's trying to fix, I believe it might be the cloop-utils package, you'll need to either do this to get it installed:
Code:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite cloop-utils-version#_i386.deb
It seems like it needs other packages to be upgraded as well for the cloop-utils package to install successfully. Once you do the force-overwrite, follow up with
Code:
dpkg --configure -a
to configure the rest of the downloaded packages before resuming with apt-get.

Umm, I should have explained the cloops-utils-version#_i386.deb, where you should replace the words version# with the actual version number of the package you are trying to force overwrite. Look in /var/cache/apt/archives to find the package and force overwrite from that directory.
HTH,
Durand
