Fix Broken Packages After Upgrage

[partyk1d24]

So I tried to do the 11.04 to 11.11 upgrade and some packages got broke. For example when I try running...


jackie@jackie-Latitude-E6410:~$ sudo apt-get install emdebian-tools

I tried to go into synaptic and use repair broken packages on pdebuild-cross and got the following...


E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

Is there a way to search and manually repair depenancies? Do I need to do another reinstall?

Hummmm after more investigation I see this...
pdebuild-cross : Depends: multistrap (>= 2.1.9) but 2.1.6ubuntu3 is to be installed

Should this be moved over to bug mode?

[raja.genupula]

do this

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update

do them one by one and try again.let me know what you got.

All the best.

Thanks but see previous I think it is an issue in that Ubuntu uses an older version of the dependency :-/ Anyway here is your output..

I get the same error. I need to install Emdebian toolchain for cross compiling and cannot get it done. It is frustrating. Please help! -Thanks.
