I'm using synaptic to update programs. A few weeks ago I installed zenity to use with a program someone made for me, but it had some dependency problems. It works, but without some other stuff. Now synaptic wants to delete it everytime I try to update something. Anyone know a way to get around this? I mean other than to install Zenity correctly....which I don't think will happen. Tom

Hi Tom,

stop crying :) What is the output of apt(-get) check? What does synaptic wants to delete. We need more info!

Need, need, need! You sound like my wife ;-) linux:/home/Tom # apt-get check Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: zenity: Depends: libpopt.so.0 but it is not installable E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. There ya go. Tom

hmmm.... Why don't you get the 9.0 version from (apt component gnome2): RPMS.gnome2 $ rpm -qp --requires zenity-1.6-31.i586.rpm | grep popt libpopt.so.1

Thanks for the input! I'm running 9. I didn't know there was a 9 version of zenity....I can't find it. I'll give it a shot and get back to you. Tom

Aren't you the one who is always jumping me about thread hijacking? Would not a better subject line have been: "Why do you quote all previous posts in this thread..."? Ed Harrison

I usually don't like to trim posts because I found that when I search on google for something, quite often I get the trimmed version and it can be a real pain to find the original thread. Now, I'm not talking about this particular group, but others in the world. But for the sake of argument, fine. I'm trimming. Next thing I know, someone will say I'm not trimming the right way. :-\ Tom On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 17:29, Patrick Shanahan wrote:
