The "broken pipe" results from /usr/bin/dcop being found in two different debs, and dpkg is complaining about it. If you want to continue, one way to force the install would be: cd /var/cache/apt/archives dpkg --force-overwrite -i kdelibs-dcop_4%3a3.1.0+rc6+kl-3_i386.deb dpkg --force-overwrite -i libkdefx4_4%3a3.1.0+rc6+kl-3_i386.deb and then continue with the apt-get install. > > > > #Libranet > deb http://libranetlinux.com updates/2.7/ > deb http://libranetlinux.com security/2.7/ > > #Debian > deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free > #deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free > > #Debian Non-US > deb http://non-us.debian.org/ sid/non-US main contrib non-free > #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/ sid/non-US main contrib non-free > > #Debian security updates > deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main contrib > non-free > #deb-src ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main > contrib non-free > > #Evolution > deb http://red-carpet.ximian.com/debian woody main > > deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ woody main > contrib > > #deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde/woody/i386/ ./ > > deb http://marillat.free.fr/ testing main > > deb http://wh9.tu-dresden.de/kde3/karolina/ ./ > > Thanks for help. -- Jerome
