Initially I get the box: "Mark additional required changes?
The chosen action also affects other packages, The following
changes are required in order to proceed."

In its list is a huge heap of grouped as "To be removed",
which includes all the scim packages, firefox, thunderbird,
etc. What the hell am I supposed to do? Remove everything?

So if I ignore this and go on, another box jumps up saying
"Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade."

In the box is listed:

scim-gtk2-immodule:
 Depends: scim but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: scim-modules-socket but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libgtk2.0-bin but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libgtk2.0-0 but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libscim8c2a but it is not going to be installed

The first two have already been installed;  just minutes before.

Well, it stalled from the debiaan etch site. What other
site should I point apt-get at?
