|  | Posted: Jan. 20 2006,22:34 |  |  After performing a non-frugal HD install with 2.1b, upgrading to GNU utils & enabling apt, almost every package I try to install with apt-get fails due to dependency problems with a message like the one below:
 
 
 root@box:~# apt-get install perl
 Reading Package Lists... Done
 Building Dependency Tree... Done
 Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
 requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
 distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
 or been moved out of Incoming.
 
 Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
 the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
 that package should be filed.
 The following information may help to resolve the situation:
 
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.6.1-8.9) but 5.8.0-18 is to be installed
 E: Broken packages
 root@box:~#
 
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks
