[plug] Dist-upgrade on Sid

[l anderson]

Good morning,

The enclosed referes to OS  Dedian Sid which I am endevouring to bring up to date.

As I am unable to access ADSL I did a  'apt-get -d dist-upgrade' at 
Nick Bannon's residence  once I got home it was then only a matter of
doing  'apt-get dist-upgrade' well that's what I thought, the results go like this.

james:~# apt-get dist-upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-l10n-en (> 1.1.3+1.1.4) or
                           openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.4
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f
