It seems you have installed a package that depends upon other packages that cannot be found. You have to add the repository that contains the missing packages to /etc/apt/sources.list, or remove the offending package. Try as suggested "apt-get -f install", but with a slight change: add the -s option for simulation. Nothing will happen, apt-get will show what it *would* do without the -s option: apt-get -f -s install If you are satisfied with the result, you can remove the -s option to let apt-get do it for real: apt-get -f install You can find most available repositories in: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/ Browse each 'RPMS.*'-directory to see if it contains the missing packages. Did you add 'base' to sources.list? It contains all the SuSE-9.1 rpms. Cheers, Leen

Can I even install glib-1.2? I mean, I'm on version 2.4.5 right now.

Instead of -s switch, I prefer -u. This will explain exactly what will be done: such packages will be upgraded, such will be removed, such will be installed, and give you the option to continue or not. Once I tried to install in my Debian system a package that conflicted with my KDE from unstable port - it simply asked to remove 80 packages to install 1 and 'happily' announced that 200 Mb would be freed :-) This is a powerfull tool, but even it can't save a computer from a bad user... ;-) Regards Marcos Lazarini

Have you executed 'apt-get update' yet? if what Leen has suggested doesn't answer your prob that might help. I used to get that msg, as well. Sometimes the pkg you want to install also wants to remove a bunch of stuff you want to keep. I *always* run w/the -s switch, first, as Leen suggested. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio "If music be the food of love, why can't rabbits sing?"
