    So first of all I think I have to ask this question: Are you sure
    Unstable (sic!) is good for you? As a newbie, having apparent lack of
    background? Sometimes it requires a lot of work and knowledge, whereas
    some problems are easy to fix or circumvent.

    Regarding your 'problem' I seems like it's just strange coincidence.
    You heard about the recent break-in into Debian infrastructure? Since
    then no new packages flow in to Unstable, so you can't upgrade any.

    And as you didn't specify your 'conflict' I can't say anything about
    that...

    Cheers,
    Flo
