dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8)

dselect-upgrade - Follow dselect selections

clean - Erase downloaded archive files

autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files

check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies


 Options:

-h This help text.

-q Loggable output - no progress indicator

-qq No output except for errors

-d Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives

-s No-act. Perform ordering simulation

-y Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt

-f Attempt to continue if the integrity check fails

-m Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable

-u Show a list of upgraded packages as well

-b Build the source package after fetching it

-V Show verbose version numbers

-c=? Read this configuration file

-o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp

See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual

pages for more information and options.

This APT has Super Cow Powers.

The error message I get when trying to load a program (abcde)

there was an error committing changes. possibly there was a problem
downloading some packages or the committ would break packages

The packages that are broken are
glassfish-bin             suns open source java (TM) EE 5 application server
ing                            sun java (tm) system message que
sunwderby                java (tm) db

Anyone got any ideas or should I just wipe it and reinstall?
