After installing grml on HD using grml2hd I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. This resulted in a) downloading some 300 MB of data and b) this message:
"The following packages have unmet dependencies:" followed by some 20 lines like this: "xserver-xorg: Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>=2:1.3.0.0) but 2:1.1.1.1.-11 is installed" ...... ...... The suggested workaround "try using -f" did not change the situation. How can I install the right dependencies?
Well, looks like you snipped the interesting part of it. ;)
Check out http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=upgrading and make sure you use aptitude instead of apt-get. I guess you ran into the grml-scripts problem.
In case of question use "dpkg -i ~deb/$PACKAGE" to install a specific without apt-get/aptitude checking for further dependencies. In case a package might need several other packages, then just run "dpkg -i ~deb/grml-scripts....deb ~deb/dialog....deb ~deb/...." containing all the relevant package names.
Everything clear? If not please post the error message you get.
For all the other users: I'll add a dependency for the most current version of the grml-script package in the stable version of the virtual grml package. So running "aptitude update ; aptitude install grml" should bring you a fine system for upgrading all the other packages as well as soon as grml 1.0 stable is available.
