For some reason the dapper Ubuntu version installed on my virtual machine has a borked binutils and I have to revert to breezey's version to compile some 'stuff'.
I was recently upgrading some packages (and selected not to upgrade binutils) the upgrade failed . Now when I try any apt commande I get the following error message.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6: Depends: tzdata but it is not installable
libc6-i686: PreDepends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-0ubuntu20) but 2.3.6-15 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Doing a apt-get -f install gives me the same error.
Is there some way to *clean down* what teh upgrade tried to do?
Thanks
Jason.
