"Unmet dependencies" - apt-get broken
Hello,
I have a problem with apt-get - since I changed my sources.list from unstable- and sid-servers to stable, it seems to mix up the versions and gives me "unmet dependencies"...
It started when i wanted to install php4-gd2, which of course came from "stable". PHP4 has been installed before (unstable), so apt-get gave me a "version mismatch". Therefore i uninstalled PHP4, with plans to reinstall it as stable (as my source.list constisted solely of stable-servers then).
but a reinstallation it aint:
> apt-get update
> apt-get install php4
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
ding: Depends: tk8.3 but it is not going to be installed or
wish
php4: Depends: libbz2-1.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libdb2 (>= 2:2.7.7.0-7) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libexpat1 (>= 1.95.2-6) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libmm11 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libpam0g (>= 0.72-1) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libpcre3 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: apache-common (>= 1.3.26) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: fileutils (>= 4.0-5)
E: Sorry, broken packages
and webablizer does not work any more, btw:
# /usr/share/webmin/webalizer/webalizer.pl blabla-logfile
Can't locate ./webalizer-lib.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/share/perl/5.8.0
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at
/usr/share/webmin/webalizer/webalizer.pl line 6.
how can I get this right? last resort would be changing sources.list to unstable again - but I have done a "apt-get upgrade" as stable in between..
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Hannes

Well that certainly is a mess, first thing to do is edit the /etc/apt/sources.list as root and put a # character in front of the lines to stable. Then deselect update to update both dpkg and apt's database, now try apt-get -s -t testing dist-upgrade remove the -s from the line if the output looks promising to actually get back to testing as a base for the system. BTW the package you wanted to install is in testing and unstable and could have been installed by either apt-get install php4-gd2/unstable or apt-get install -t unstable php4-gd2 to get the unstable version substitute testing in the commands if you had wanted the testing version if there were different packages for each branch which is not the case here.
