The gnome 2.0 lines are out of my sources.list! Even forcing 'apt-get install xfree86-common' from people.debian.org/~blade doesn't seem to do the trick; there must be other dependency issues as to why apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' wasn't sufficient to pull in the new XFree86 once the people.debian.org/~blade source had been added to my list. Any ideas? 'apt-get install gnome' doesn't work either as I get the error message gnome: Depends: gnome-core (= 21) but it is not going to be installed Depends: galeon or galeon-snapshot but it is not installable Depends: gnome-games but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages Thanks. > -- > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > GPG/PGP ID: 26384A3A > Fingerprint: D9FF DF4A 2D46 A353 A289 E8F5 AA75 > DCBE 2638 4A3A > > ===== ----------------------- Simon Tod [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
