I know Joe suggested that I resolve the dependencies but I don't know how. I thought apt was supposed to do that for me?
Here is my output
<snip gnome conflicts> <snip kde conflicts>
The gnome conflicts come from having both ximian and usr-local-bin as package sources. Remove one of them from /etc/apt/sources.list (I recommend removing ximian, but that's a matter of taste) and re-run apt-get update.
I am using Ximian XD2. If I remove ximian, won't that leave me a little out of sync
Most of the kde conflicts are coming from the ktamaga package, which seems to want to provide darn near everything all over again. Don't install it, unless you can't live without a tamagotchi emulator. The other conflict seems to come from trying to install kdepim. In KDE 3.1.1, kdepim is one package, whereas in 3.1.3 it is broken up into seperate components. Don't install kdepim3-3.11. One way to accomplish these is to edit the Hold section of /etc/apt/apt.conf
e.g,:
{ // Hold (do not update) a list with pkgs: // Hold { "k_deflt"; "sane"; }; // Leave list empty to disable Hold {"kdepim3-3.1.1"; "ktamaga"; };
Another way would be to use Synaptic to manually choose which packages you want to update. If you don't have it installed, just run "apt-get install synaptic".
