Hi again,
Being a glutton for punishment I downloaded the ISO for PCLOS2007 and
installed it inside VirtualBox. I gave it 512MB of RAM and then did
the following:-
* Install aptitude (seems not to be there by default)
* aptitude update
* aptitude upgrade
I get a similar list of brokenness to you.
* aptitude dist-upgrade
No brokenness, but it just aborts at the end. See this pastebin for the result:-
http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/46718
To save you clicking, the last 3 lines are:-
"742 packages upgraded, 175 newly installed, 22 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 897MB of archives. After unpacking 112MB will be used.
Abort. "
So it's not just you.
I also took the liberty to ask for support in #pclinuxos-support on
the freenode network, and here's the response.
00:04:40 < popey> greetings
00:05:14 < popey> Is it a known bug or faq that on a newly installed
pclinuxos, if I "aptitude dist-upgrade" it barfs at the end?
00:05:22 < popey> I understand there's some major packaging changes going on?
00:05:29 < popey>
http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/46718 is what happens
00:06:04 < popey> ( I am doing this inside a virtual machine running
pclos2k7 to help a friend who runs it, I get the same error she does,
and wondered if it was known about and being worked on)
