what happens here

[asc]

So all upgrade is finished for me. I must just hope that texstar
doing a PCLinuxOS 2010 with KDE 4 ..
otherwise I will keep the old. But it does indeed finely

Try another repository. The one you're using was probably being updated.

[asc]

Thanks friend, I used the old method away from dos prompt
notification apt-get and it worked

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver:: Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by luck packages.

The error occurs in this / these two files:

libpq8.4_5
The shared libraries required for any
PostgreSQL clients

and in this

libpqxx
The official C + + client API for PostgreSQL

Saw them I went into synaptic and chose to opt out under
Corrupted files ..
Bad idea!

After rebooting no PCLinuxOS .... Now I began to sweat
and thought of how stupid it is not putting it into a
windows so I had said something that seemed ... fy ..

After the initial fear and terror had subsided
I had written drakconf
but there was not much to go after
but I could then see the users I had to
pclose they had since gone.
Reboot!
got into a root koncol just by typing root
and password .. what now?
Yes, I chose a
apt-get update
and then an apt-get upgrade ...

Bingo it was driving again when the leave the files as
I had ignored ..
But the problem is still there?
What am I doing wrong?

the recommended way to update is using synaptic or "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get dist-upgrade". You used "apt-get upgrade" and that is not the correct way.

i repeat, if you want to update from the terminal, the right way is to use:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

try that and report if you still get errors.

[Tuxfriend]

I wouldn't do a dist-upgrade as of now because there are a few apps that don't start after upgrading. What's more, my Update Notifier shows this message:

"An error occured verifying upgrade; this may be caused by held packages. Do NOT update! Check Synaptic or try again later."

So, it might be a good idea being cautious now.

I wouldn't do a dist-upgrade as of now because there are a few apps that don't start after upgrading.

Both apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade will try to upgrade your entire system, but apt-get upgrade will only upgrade installed packages, without checking for changed dependencies. apt-get dist-upgrade does handle changing dependencies and will remove obsolete packages when their functionality has been replaced by entirely different packages that apt-get upgrade simply wouldn't install.

Consequently apt-get dist-upgrade is usually the safer alternative. apt-get upgrade will sooner or later break your system.

You should listen to muungwana.

I'm confused. I'm waiting for texstar

[muungwana]

you have already used a wrong command and dependency chains may have been formed in ways they cant be untangled. You could be better off just reinstalling and pay attention to not use wrong commands when installing/updating from the terminal.

If you want to continue, try to delete those packages and see if you can continue with the update and then try to add them back later on.

hi asc,

as mentioned by muungwana you should be very careful what you do from a root terminal as any wrong command can bring you into serious troubles. Before reinstalling you could try the following: first go in Synaptic and ensure to have only one (1) repository active and it should not be the belnet repo. In Synaptic verify to have dupeclean or dupeclean-gui installed, if you can not install it then skip the dupeclean steps mentioned below. Then close Synaptic, and I mean close not minimize so in Synaptic goto File -> Exit. Next, open a root terminal (PCmenu -> System -> Terminals -> Terminal - Super User Mode) and enter the following commands one after the other so you see what is going on:

Code: [Select]

apt-get clean
rpmdb --rebuilddb
dupeclean
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-broken
dupeclean

Note that the second command will take some time to complete, maybe even a couple of minutes. If all works out fine, do a final reboot and you should be ok. Otherwise tell us the output of the commands above so we can get an idea where your problem originates from and how to solve it.
regards,
-p.

No. Unfortunately it is the same

No. Unfortunately it is the same 

Hi asc,
the answer "No. Unfortunately it is the same" is not very helpful. If you do not provide detailed answers to the proposed individual steps or commands then no one can help you because no one will be in the position to understand the reasons of your issue.

Please follow the steps below exactly in the sequence they are listed. If you get an error message for any of these steps then do not proceed to the next step but post the last step and its error message here:

Step 1:
restart your computer, login into your user account and open a root konsole: PCmenu -> System -> Terminals -> Terminal - Super User Mode
you will be asked for your root password, provide it and you should then see a red root prompt in the konsole, you should get something looking like this:

Code: [Select]

[root@localhost ~]#just in red color.

Step 2:
copy/paste the entire set of the following commands in this terminal and press the enter key:
a) if you use KDE4:

Code: [Select]

/bin/mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_old
echo "rpm http://gnustep.ethz.ch/mirror/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2007 main extra nonfree kde4" > /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update |tee /tmp/step1.logb) if you any other window manager but not KDE4:

Code: [Select]

/bin/mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_old
echo "rpm http://gnustep.ethz.ch/mirror/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2007 main extra nonfree kde" > /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update |tee /tmp/step1.log
Step 3:
copy/paste the following command in this terminal and press the enter key:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install dupecleanPlease let me know if this command succeeded or if you got any error messages here.

Step 4:
copy/paste the following command in this terminal and press the enter key:

Code: [Select]

apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-broken |tee /tmp/step4.logPlease let me know if this command succeeded or if you got any error messages here.

Step 5:
copy/paste the following command in this terminal and press the enter key:

Code: [Select]

dupecleanPlease let me know if this command succeeded or if you got any error messages here.

Step 6:
only if all previous 5 steps were successful then copy/paste the following command in this terminal and press the enter key:

Code: [Select]

bin/mv -f /etc/apt/sources.list_old /etc/apt/sources.list
