[GLLUG] Help with Debian Upgrade??

[Benjamin Cathey]

Okay - I ran apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday which took FOREVER.  Anyway, everything seemed to finally resolve itself except this:

ladon:~# apt-get -f install

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The -f flag doesn't do a thing for me and I can't get samba to upgrade.  ANY IDEAS please??  I googled the errors I am getting and got no hits.

Thanks in advanced,
