Re: [clug-talk] Knoppix and apt-get

[Jason Louie]

The package libxcursor-devel is giving the error if I remember 
correctly, it throws an error when attempting to install it.  It was 
caused by running the "apt-get upgrade" command so I have no idea which 
package requires it to be installed due to dependency.  The issue is 
that I run "apt-get -f install" and it attempts to install 
libxcursor-devel and fails again and when I attempt to install anything 
else the dependency is not satisfied.  I figured that if I remove the 
reason why the package wants to be installed then I can add some better 
sources for apt-get.

What exactly is the error message your getting? Usually when apt messes itself 
up like that, I take a look at what version it's looking for. Then either 
uninstall the package if you don't need it, or find the correct version of 
the .deb package on the Internet and install it manually. Once apt is 
satisfied, it won't give you errors anymore. I know there is a list of apt 
sources somewhere, but I don't remember the web site. I would check out 
debian.org but I would also take a look in your /etc/apt/sources.list file as 
knoppix comes with lots of sources by default, although many of the will 
probably be commented out.
