#205043 — Package dependancies.

Any ideas about this? 

root@imager:/etc/apt# apt-get install aptitude
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 aptitude : Depends: aptitude-common (= 0.6.11-1) but 0.8.7-1 is to be installed
            Depends: libcwidget3 but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

root@imager:/etc/apt# ls -ld preferences
ls: cannot access 'preferences': No such file or directory
root@imager:/etc/apt# ls -ld preferences.d/*
ls: cannot access 'preferences.d/*': No such file or directory

No evidence of a hold there.

Thanks,                    ... Peter E.

0.8.7 is the version from Stretch, 0.6.11 the version from Jessie.

So the question arises, what are the contents of your sources.list
file(s)? Did you change anything about these recently? Did you try to do 
'apt-get update' first and then try to install aptitude again?


Regards

Michael

... jessie ... 

Confusion.  I was thinking jessie is stable.  Works better with stretch. =8~)
