Thanks for the help. I did as was suggested and received the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# apt-get remove gimp-print -s Reading Package Lists... Error! E: There are two or more versions of the package 'gimp-print' installed in your system, which is a situation APT can't handle cleanly at the moment. Please do one of the following: 1) Keep at most one version of the package in the system; or 2) If you do want to keep multiple versions of that package, lookup RPM::Allow-Duplicated in the documentation.
E: Error occured while processing gimp-print (UsePackage3) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/rpm/Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Regrettably, I am uncertain of how to deal with this. I suspect that the first 2 errors listed began with my unnecessary installation of the print utility, but the others I know nothing about. Suggestions? Mockery?
