I had a nice and clean potato installation. At a certain point I needed to install a qpopper 4.x debian package which forced me to upgrade libc6 to 2.2.4
After a certain number of problems with apt-get which I cannot clearly reconstruct I am in the following position. An apt-get -f install removed mozilla and libgtk1.2. Now I would like to reinstall mozilla and I get the following error: lori-renato:/home/bob# apt-get install mozilla <----------------------- Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: mozilla: Depends: libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.7-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages lori-renato:/home/bob# apt-get install libgtk1.2 <-------------------------------- Reading Package Lists...

Thank you very much. Bob Alexander
