I've actually fixed the problem. I googled for someone's sources.list for dapper, and used that. Now everything is working perfectly.
The only difference I could find was: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted as apposed to: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main the first one is what worked. this is definately a sources.list problem, not a bug. apologies for consuming your valuable bug fixing time when it could have been used on much more immediate issues. kind regards, Montaro. -- Cannot install libgtk2.0-dev on Dapper. https://launchpad.net/bugs/54750 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
