I use Debian 6.0.6 sudo apt-get install php-pear results in: 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: initscripts : Breaks: console-setup (< 1.74) but 1.68+squeeze2 is to be installed Breaks: initramfs-tools (< 0.104) but 0.98.8 is to be installed Breaks: nfs-common (< 1:1.2.5-3) but 1:1.2.2-4squeeze2 is to be installed keyboard-configuration : Breaks: console-setup (< 1.71) but 1.68+squeeze2 is to be installed klibc-utils : Breaks: initramfs-tools (< 0.103) but 0.98.8 is to be installed E: Broken packages How can i solve it?
