Thanx a lot Guys ;)

Glad to have helped. Perhaps you can help also. Please trim your quotes and do something with your sig which is longer than the standard acceptable 4 lines, even longer than your posts. thanks for your consideration, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

After that try apt install <anything> seems I am having problems with dependencies. I've always wondered about this situation, where it says an older version is required, what do you do about that??

ran apt-get install sane and got:

sane is already the newest version. You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: epiphany: Depends: mozilla (= 1.6) but 1.7.2-17.2 is to be installed galeon: Depends: mozilla (= 1.6) but 1.7.2-17.2 is to be installed gconf2-doc: Depends: gconf2 (= 2.4.0.1) but 2.6.1-7 is to be installed gstreamer-plugins-default: Depends: gstreamer-plugins (= 0.6.4) but 0.8.1-17 is to be installed Depends: libgstcontrol-0.6.so.0 but it is not installable Depends: libgstreamer-0.6.so.0 but it is not installable

You have different repositories offering different versions of the same package. Try installing the dependent packages separately - for example, if you install mozilla-1.7 you will probably then find that galeon and epiphany will install with no problems.

no, the issues is I already have mozilla 1.72 installed.. PaulsPC:/ # rpm -qa|grep mozi mozilla-1.7.2-17.2 mozilla-mail-1.7.2-17.2 so the errors message:

Do you have ulb-gnome in your sources list? I have these packages installed from there with no problems (mozilla-1.7.2-100.SuSE.ulb.1). David -- Registered Linux User No 207521 at The Linux Counter http://counter.li.org/ "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance."

I don't have that site in my list, I only have 1 line in my list, the one that came with it I think. I've asked for help with a sources.list but noone answered. my point was that I already have Mozilla-1.7.2 installed, apt was complaining about dependencies of a program that needs mozilla-1.6.2 OK. My /etc/apt/sources.list is as follows:

Some are self-explanatory; usr-local-bin provides James Ogley's gnome (2.8) packages (which I use), packman is good for multimedia; suse-people and suser-* are a bit cutting edge and shouldn't be included if you don't want anything to break - I rarely have any problems, though. Since the packages with which you are having problems are mainly gnome-based, I would suggest that you replace gnome and gnome2 in your sources.list with usr-local-bin, and try again.

Did you add all those repositories to source.list? Do it bit by bit: xmlto requires docbook-xsl-stylesheets, passivetex, te_latex, xmltex - so install those separately. Update epiphany, gconf2 and gconf2-doc. Make sure your installed packages are all up to date then try again.
