| Dear all, 
 As stated in a different post, I'm stuck after a failed attempt to DU with a broken texlive update.
 
 Here are some attempts of "apt -f install", "apt -f full-upgrade" and "dpkg --configure -a":
 
 
       Code: 
finottim83(scrn)[/home/finotti]$ apt full-upgrade

 You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

 LaTeX is essential for my work, and although I can compile my files remotely, I'd really appreciate some help.  (And of course, I can't DU at all either...)
 
 Best to all,
