The packages that are downloaded will stay on your computer if you don't erase them. Have a look at the directory /sw/var/cache/apt/archives, it will be full of them. What you now probably have is some half-installed packages, or some that are even installed, but whose postinstall script did not run successfully. Try the following: sudo apt-get -f install This will try to bring the database of binary packages into a consistent state from which you can continue. The next package that tried to get installed apparently was gnome-icon-theme-2.16.0.1-1, so you could install this manually: sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-2.16.0.1-1 The apt-get tool works on a lower level than the fink command, and it often cuts more directly to the real issues. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
