Hi,

Having problems updating packages on debian at the moment. I suspect the 
culprit is a cisco vpn package I installed earlier, from my university's 
website.

Here's the errors:

I guess I could just uninstall the vpn client, as I don't use it that 
often. Might be slightly trickier than normal, though, as it was 
installed via a script supplied from cisco, rather than a .deb package. 
I guess I'd have to go through the script and try and figure out what it 
did.

Any other suggestions?

Many thanks,

gavin,
