The script then tries to run "pycentral pkginstall" on each package in the list. This goes wrong for you because pycentral cannot find your manually-installed keepnote package. I would therefore try to remove all occurrences of "keepnote" from the delayed-pkgs file and then run "aptitude install -f" (or "apt-get install -f" if you prefer). -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
