Issue with Update Manager

[hippie dream]

Mario,

Thank so much for your help.

"What happens now? Please try and post the output you get. Does the
kernel update go through now?"

Yes, once I removed the repos in question, the kernel update was successful.
Safe upgrade was sufficient. I won't include the output as it worked fine.
Thanks!


"Does it upgrade r-base-core and r-base-dev now? If not, what is the
output?"

Yes it do update but only with the full upgrade. Here is the output:

"First, add the key. It is located at http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg
(linked from the main page). Download this file and add the key by using
the Authentication tab in Software Sources as I described in an earlier
reply (yesterday?) 

Enable the repository and run the aptitude commands yet again. Results?"

This worked well. I have enabled the repo again and now received no more
messages about partial upgrades.


"Ok, on the the next one, Wine. As mentioned, I do not recommend to use
it. See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine"

I am a bit confused here. You don't recommend using Wine or you don't
recommend using the non-supported version of wine? I am a bit fuzzy on the
distinction. I usually install packages using the GUI and that is what I
thought I did with wine. Anyways, I have enabled the repo
http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/ hardy main as opposed to WINEHQ -
Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron". Not sure what the difference is here but with
this configuration, I no longer receive those partial upgarde error
messages.

Anyways, I think I am good now and this problem is solved. Thanks for this.
I'll refer to this if the problem crops up again before posting to the list.

Cheers,

Sam
