Hi, apt-get install won't let me do anything until I fix some dependency problems. But when I run apt-get -f install it exits with the output pasted below. The package that is mentioned as involved in causing the error (fglrx) is the driver for my ATI radeon video card which I got from their website (not via apt-get). I notice there's now a debian fglrx package available for that, so I could try apt-get -remove (--purge?) fglrx and then apt-get install fglrx, but I'm basically too scared to do that until someone more knowledgable tells me to, because it took me a while to get x-windows working in the first place.
Thankyou. Dan debian testing on a pentium 4 laptop with ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card Psilocybe:/home/dan# apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
