apt is pretty smart about automatically resolving dependencies,
but there are some situations that simply cannot be handled
automatically.
Here's what I usually do:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
And then for cases like yours, where packages have been kept
back, I add them a few at a time, to determine the source of
apt's confusion. I your case, I would do:
apt-get install ae cpp cvs distributed-net
if apt complains about that combination, I would fall back,
one package at a time, until apt is successful:
apt-get install ae cpp cvs
<apt complaint>
apt-get install ae cpp
<apt complaint>
apt-get install ae
<well, this SHOULD always work, unless you've been
manually forcing thinks in dpkg!>
Repeat until everything is up to date.
HTH,
D

I'm a newbie using SuSE 6.4.
I want to network 3 computers using my SuSE Linux box as a firewall.
I have two nic(s) installed in the SuSE linux box and have set them as:
eth0 with my DSL line's IP address, and
eth1 with an IP address of 192.168.1.1
I have set the nic's address on the other computer (OS is WIN98) as
192.168.2.1
The third computer will be 192.168.3.1 (it will be a linux/win box).
I've played with these setting every which way but the right way because I
still don't get a connection.
What do I need to put in the route.conf file to get this network up?
Right now I have the following and its not working:
#destination Dummy/gateway
Netmask Device
XXX.186.215.21 XXX.186.215.1
255.255.255.255 eth0
192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0
255.255.255.0 eth1
default XXX.186.215.1
When I run "ifconfig" the out put looks ok.
Thanks,
Fred
