Hi, Thanks for all of your replies guys.. :) So, my sources.list, (just incase): deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free And when I run "apt-get install ocaml-nox": ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: ocaml-nox: Depends: libncurses5-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages Following on I try "apt-get install libncurses5-dev" ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: libncurses5-dev: Depends: libncurses5 (= 5.4-4) but 5.4-9 is to be installed E: Broken packages [at this point the penny drops] A while ago I wanted a package which wasn't yet in stable, so I temporarily set my sources.list to point to testing, installed the package, then switched back my sources. During that switch however ncurses5-5.4-9 was installed. Ocaml is just unluckily the first package I've hit in stable which has conflicted. I have now manually downloaded and installed the ncurses5-5.4-4 debs, ran "apt-get -f install" to remove the offending package that needed 4-9, and I'm fixed. :) I may manually download the deb for the package in testing that I want and force it in somehow. Either that or build it from source. Anyway, thank you for your help. And I apologise for wasting your time with a problem unrelated to ocaml.
