Originally I did do the rebuild, it didn't work and then tried the reinstall. I tried your suggestion but it didn't work; it said it couldn't download gnome-games and then provided similar error messages as before. At the end it said to run apt-get install, so I did and then tried: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-games again and it still didn't work.
I appreciate you helping me with this. I really don't have a clue what to do as I am a "newbie". Thanks Jeremy On 8/15/03 9:51 PM, "Alexander K.
