Dear James :) You said: ... you can check the 'Depends' line... I do it another way. I usually use gdebi package in GUI mode to find the dependency issues. You said: ... this is a problem at Knoppix's end :) Did I say it wasn't?! When I wrote I was just asking for a solution, which brings us back to square one. :) You said: ... why you consider my helping you 'posturing'... Did I _say_ that!? :) It is your perception! :) It was a general, passing observation for 'me'! You said: ... As for condescendment, I found your response to my initial post to have quite that air about it... Was it condescension?! I just re-stated your very words in a slightly different form, actually supported you if you felt you were at all condescending (I replaced the word with 'over-assertive'), and just told the truth in a matter of fact form :) We colour our own reality! Everything is just about the "I", think about this. There is a word called 'empathy'. I've applied it a lot and a lot deeply to arrive here :) This is a forum for Geany users, so let us keep the posts reflecting the forum policy as such, and not dwell on it. Just ignore :) Regards, Rajib Bandopadhyay _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
