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.
