apt-get Questions

[leetuckert]

Is there a way to use apt-get to repair a busted upgrade? Can apt-get be used to roll back to a previous release. I'm looking at the man page but there are options which are unclear to me.

Thanks...

Try looking at :

sudo apt-get -f install

If that doesn't work then try:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

You may want to run, in order:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You may need to repeat until no errors are reported.
