Re: Helix-Gnome not installable
Since the problem is a conflict between Helix and Debian versions of some libraries, perhaps you can temporarily comment out the Debian lines in your sources.list, do an apt-get update and then try apt-get install task-helix-gnome. Don´t forget to fix your sources.list afterwards or you won´t be able to keep your Woody current on an hourly basis! Also, you might need to avoid installing the Debian versions afterwards, just by being careful with apt-get upgrade. Another possibility, which I normally use, is to just wait for the Helix guys to catch up. (and they used to say that Debian was slow to provide current versions of packages).

Re: Helix-Gnome not installable
Sometime this morning, Helix made new packages available. I´ll bet it all works OK now, so ignore my earlier post.

Helix-Gnome not installable
I can't seem to install Helix Gnome on my woody box. dimmu:~# apt-get install task-helix-gnome Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: task-helix-gnome: Depends: task-helix-core but it is not going to be installedE: Sorry, broken packages So I apt-get install task-helix-core.

Thats an interesting apt quirk, just list all the packages at once:
auric{jgg}~/apt2/build/bin#./apt-get install task-helix-gnome task-helix-core
sawfish-gnome rep-gtk-gnome libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2: Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2 (= 0.9.0-0.2) but 0.9.0-helix5
is to be installed
rep-gtk-gnome: Depends: rep-gtk (= 0.14-1) but 0.14-helix2 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
Tada.
This appears to be because the helix folks are mixing and matching
libraries from debian and them. they were supposed to be using the debian
versions :|
For instance if I use the new APT I can resolve this..
auric{jgg}~/apt2/build/bin#./apt-get install task-helix-gnome
libgdk-pixbuf2=o=debian rep-gtk=o=debian
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Selected version 0.9.0-0.2 (Debian:unstable) for libgdk-pixbuf2
Selected version 0.14-1 (Debian:unstable) for rep-gtk

22 packages upgraded, 100 newly installed, 1 to remove and 238 not upgraded.
Need to get 38.1MB/61.9MB of archives. After unpacking 123MB will be used.
By picking the Debian versions of the problem libraries..
