Whatever I use, synaptic, update manager, apt-get it insists on upgrading GDM

The upgrade just 'hangs' on the upgrade with'unpacking replacement gdm' message

All 3 still try and upgrade gdm (why does it do this even when I do not want to upgrade/update) ?????

Please help , I've had this problem for nearly 3 days now and i am stuck can't do any package install my system is basically 'stuck' in no update/install mode until i solve this

The gdm is: /var/cache/apt/archives/gdm_2.30.5-0ubuntu4.1_i386.deb even if i get a new copy from ANY repo it still has this problem, any solution, anyone come accross this yet?

Thanks if you can help

Try:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

You want to do that with dpkg not apt-get, and no it doesn't solve anything.

I tried that already, also tried removing the downloaded package file and tried using a different repo,

I have no idea why it is hanging/locking in the unpacking of the package file.
