Tried to upgrade to the latest on one of our Lenny (plus needed bits
from backports and Squeeze) and am experiencing the following:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-data-trinity_4%3a3.5.12-0debian6
+r1177990_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I then did
apt-get install kdebase-data-trinity
and all seemed to work.

I noticed that kgtk-qt3-trinity was being withheld.  I then tried the
following with the following results:

jasiii:/# apt-get install kgtk-qt3-trinity

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:

Abort.

I'm certainly looking forward to the stable release.  Thanks - John
