I did an apt-get install task-kde this afternoon. I got a message that task-kde would not be installed because some other package was not installable. After hunting down the problem package, I try to install it :

Pretty, huh? I am not given any further detail on what the problem is. Anybody else ever encountered that ? Thanks ! -- Joel Dinel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
