You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Keep doing it, it took 9 times for me doing
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get-update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
Could not get this to work using h2's script

Thanks piper. I really don't understand why it worked the 6th time i tried, but so it did.

If you have not already done a dist-upgrade that ended with this error my script has a fix in it that should work.
If you have already done the upgrade that exited with errors then the fix in my script will not do anything, so you have to do those repeated install -f things to try to handle it.

Your fix didn't work for me unfortunately h2; I'm getting the same error messages as above.

seeker, did you already do a du and try to use my script to fix it? I know it won't fix it after the fact, but it should theoretically work before the du, but not if you did a du within I think 2 days of now, then the problem is already there. Unfortunately, this particular fix is not possible for me to test since I don't have that stuff installed on any machine.

The only thing I did was check for any possible upgrades whilst in KDE (i.e. apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade but saying no to upgrading). Maybe this is what caused the error.

if you dont need the ipw-stuff, do:
Code:
dpkg -P $(dpkg -l |awk '/ipw3945/{print $2}')
then do:
Code:
apt-get -f install
that should fix it.

Devil, lol, I just posted this fix, which I just discoverd as well, slightly different than yours, but same idea.
I was lucky enough to get this error as well. After trying some endless install -f stuff, which didn't work, I tried this, which did work:
instead of: apt-get remove --purge ipw3945-1.13
I did: dpkg --purge ipw3945-1.13
followed by an install -f to make sure. It worked fine, no hangup.
That fix is now in my updated script.
