Or the time that makedev wiped out my entire /dev directory. :)

Re: apt complaining about valid dependencies

2001-05-06 Thread Tal Danzig 
Hi,

First I'd try:
apt-get -f install

Then I'd try to resolve each problem separately.  Eg:
apt-get install alsa-utils
apt-get install asclock
.

Also, have you tried a dist-upgrade?
