Dear friends: [Using Xandros 2.0/Debian]
This morning I noticed that I could no longer install anything from Xandros Networks. I drew the conclusion that I had been pushing the envelope to the breaking point, installing from all sorts of sources, including unstable (though with a /etc/apt/preferences file). Humbled by this experience, I figured that I had better do a complete, fresh install of Xandros 2.0 Standard and this time really be strict and disciplined with myself. So, I deleted the entire installation and started from scratch. This time, I restricted myself to Xandros Networks and only to its two default sources (XN 1 and XN 2). In fact, I installed Xandros' own applications first and only then was about to start installing some applications from the second XN unsupported Debian source in XN. And suddenly, after a good 3 or 4 hours of installation, with what looks like a perfect installation, XN seems to have collapsed. I cannot install ANYTHING, including XN's own applications, i.e. from XN1 (with the default XN symbol) using the STANDARD option under Edit, Standard (instead of Expert). I've tried at least a dozen of them and they all give me the same error message. Please click on this link for a screenshot: http://www.websher.net/xn-1.png And here is the output from the console when I tried to install this same file, the GCC 3.3 development files using apt-get: Dell:/# apt-get -f install gcc-3.3 Reading Package Lists...

Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: synaptic: Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.4.1) but 1.2.4-1 is to be installed Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) but 2.3.2-7 is to be installed Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:3.3.2-1) but 1:3.3.2-0pre5 is to be installed Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.2-1) but 1:3.3.2-0pre5 is to be installed Depends: libxml2 (>= 2.6.2) but 2.5.11-2 is to be installed Depends: libzvt2.0-0 (>= 2.0.1cvs20021009-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) but 1:1.1.4-15 is to be installed Depends: gksu but it is not going to be installed Depends: scrollkeeper but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). Dell:/# None of this makes any sense to me. I did try to use the Xandros Restore function, but it didn't make any difference whatsoever. I would very much appreciate your help and advice. I have no idea what's going on and how to proceed. Thank you so very much. Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
