Sorry about the typo. I hope I've made it clear that the software center gives information as to EXACTLY why it fails to install a package.

Usually, I use the terminal to install. On dome deb packages, I get a message 'unknown ..etc. cannot install.' I find that very annoying. I have to use the software center, which fails to install (presumably because of unmet dependencies). But what they are is a mystery. I really would like the terminal to be a lot less picky. Could one of you make a note of that please. If I install something that does damage, I should have to take full responsibility, but in a Linux system, I don't want to be mothered! Thanks. Barry.
