| I have been updating my machine and trying to make my machine from
stable to etch.
This is my sources.list file
<code>

Now I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade.
I know it's not anything to do with my computer's config it self but
something with apt-get or the sources because I have two computers
doing this.
After apt-get dist-upgrade and I did apt-get -f install to try again, I
just get this:
<code>
TVMachine:~# apt-get dist-upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.

xfree86-common: Depends: x11-common but it is not installed

installed
xutils: Depends: x11-common (>= 6.8.1) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

| It just says do apt-get -f install first.
