apt-get update and upgrade problem

[federico silva]

Hi, Michael,

I switched to Ubuntu for the same reasons.
The funny thing is the package with problems
was a kde package not a third party package.
Specifically kapptemplate.

I ran an apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean,
the update and finally upgrade again
just a few minutes ago and the downloading
of the packages is proceeding now.
I hope when the time comes to install the
downloaded paqs all will be fine.

First time something like this happend to
me in _any_ debian derived distro.

Oh, well. Some fun added to a crowded day.

regards

f
