Yeah, sorry about that. I put the question there because I
was, well, phrasing it as a question. :-)
Ah, I took it as an imperative, as in "try this..." No harm done.
*jaw hits table...clunk* You mean that's ALL I had to DO??
Fer cryin' out... wow. Thanks. ^_^
Glad to help. The only reason I know that command is that
I've had a few dependency problems once in a while and apt
itself suggested I try running that command. I guess you
were using dpkg, though, so it wouldn't have suggested it to
you. Anyway, glad to hear it's working now. (That is the case,
right? :-)
More or less. One lasting problem that doesn't have to do with
packages, and is one that I've had up till now already: if anything
interferes with my USB printer (Dell-branded Lexmark z600 series) [i.e.
a cancelled print job, power-cycling the printer to get it to eject the
half-printed page, etc.], only a complete reboot will resurrect it.
I've tried restarting hotplug and cupsys, but those actions don't have
any effect. Obviously I'm just not restarting the right service; do you
know which process I should be poking at to get it up again? Rebooting
is just...annoying!
Thanks again!
