Thanks. Tried libgnome but that didnt work but libgnome32 goes OK ibut with "apt-get remoe libgnome32" I get the errors below. I have tried apt-get update again and it goes fine with no errors. I tried the --fix-missing but get these. Have repeated this and get same error. How to I get around this size mismatch? apt-get --fix-missing remove libgnome32 28 packages upgraded, 19 newly installed, 20 to remove and 176 not upgraded. Need to get 10.4MB/24.0MB of archives.
