    Try with apt-get -f install. This must resolve the unmet dependencies. But it
    only works if the right repositories are defined in sources.list. Have you
    checked the presence of base, update and security (at least these) in your
    security.list and sources.list files?

    This error message appears when apt is unable to locate a dependency in his
    package lists and there is no entry in the installed rpm database for this
    dependency. Check also the correctness of the rpm database (rpm --rebuild).
    Maybe is corrupted as a result of your EXT3 problems.

    ReiserFS is a good option. I'm using it since SuSE 8.1, and is a rock-solid
    FS. No problem with it until now. And very fast.
