Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt

Under vmware in fesity I did a debootstrap of gutsy to a separate virtual hardisk and later booted from it in a separate virtual machine.

Currently i cannot install aptitude, because is depends on libapt-pkg-libc6.5-6-4.4 but apt provides version libapt-pkg-libc6.6-6-4.4

Adept is also affected because it has indirect dependency on debtags wich depends on libapt-pkg-libc6.5-6-4.4. As a result ubuntu-minimal and kubuntu-desktop are not installable at all.

Woohoo, I have a similar situation. I seem to have killed synaptic and was trying to get it back using the command line. I get this error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  synaptic:
            Depends: libapt-inst-libc6.5-6-1.1 but it is not installable
            Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.5-6-4.4 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I have been trying to figure this out on my own but I am not a Linux serf (much less a guru or a god).

I am pleased to see this but as I believe they are related. I am running the AMD64 version of 7.10.

An update. Was it me? Was it an update? I will never know.

I have been able to get Synaptic, Add/Remove, and Network Manager working again. Remember, some of these problems are my own doing.

There were interim problems with OpenOffice (not my doing) and Compiz (not clear who is at fault) but each update (I do several a day) seems to make more progress.

Well done lads.

Or - Well done lasses, as the case may be. This still remains the most responsive software teams I have dealt with. Simply amazing.
