I was trying to install mplayer using apt, but when I type apt-get install
mplayer I get a whole bunch of stuff spit out on the command line like the following
xpdf: Depends: /bin/sh but it is not installable
xsane-gimp: PreDepends: /usr/bin/awk but it is not installable
PreDepends: /bin/sh but it is not installable
PreDepends: /bin/sh but it is not installable
xscreensaver: Depends: /usr/games/fortune but it is not installable
Depends: /etc/pam.d/system-auth but it is not installable
Depends: /bin/sh but it is not installable
Depends: /usr/bin/perl but it is not installable
ypbind: PreDepends: /sbin/chkconfig but it is not installable
PreDepends: /bin/sh but it is not installable
PreDepends: /bin/sh but it is not installable
PreDepends: /bin/sh but it is not installable
Depends: /bin/bash but it is not installable
zlib: PreDepends: /sbin/ldconfig but it is not installable
PreDepends: /sbin/ldconfig but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
I think it spits out these same messages for every package installed on my system.
I later found the same result when I tried apt-get upgrade.
Can someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
john
