What is wajig? I only use aptitude. Perhaps a cause of this could be using more than one package installer (wajig and apt-get). I would suggest aptitude only. What is unicon and what depends on it? What happens if you remove unicon and xbase-clients then install xbase-clients again. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
