It looks, from your first error, like the EXT2 libs is from a distro, but the progs is generic, so the dependency strings don't match... Zope may be an unrelated program that just got caught up due to being in a removable state. try sudo apt-get -f check (That should either fix the problems, or return clean if there are none) Then run these two to get your EXT2 utilities: sudo apt-get install --reinstall e2fslibs sudo apt-get install --reinstall e2fsprogs e2fsck-static (if the same error occurs, try reducing your repository list to just your distribution's main repositories, you may have multiple versions being pulled from different locations) if ZOPE is really a problem, try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall zope2.9 zope2.10 zope-common Mark Phillips wrote: > I am running: > Linux version 2.6.21-2-686 (Debian 2.6.21-6) (waldi@debian.org) (gcc > version 4.1.3 20070629 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-13)) > > I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and am running into these > errors that I cannot fix: > > hammerhead:~# apt-get upgrade > Reading package lists...
