hi,

Synaptic Package Manager reports two broken packages on this knoppix 7.0.3 LiveUSB:

The origin of this problem stems from using 'Update Manager' that reports 590 updates are available.
Another Update Manager dialog:

Upgrading may require removal or installation of new packages.
Do you want to perform a safe-upgrade which does not remove packages
or install new ones?

Q: Is Update Manager a viable option to use instead of synaptic w/knoppix?
