Ximian should have been in sources.list, maybe it's no longer on the server? I'd remove suser-k and suser-t as well as mantel-kernel from sources.list. You should definitely remove mantel I don't think you need his kernels yet. then run apt-get update, or through synaptic. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
OK, I removed suser-k and suser-t and mantel-kernel. Then I ran apt-get update again followed by apt-get upgrade. This is what I am looking at now...

Sorry about this going to you first then the list but I responded to the wrong one. It's not necessary to cc me, I'll get it with everyone else. To be safe go into gnome or something else. The XFree86-server-4.3.0-63 is a patch rpm so it has some dependencies. You need to find XFree86 server -15 or -42 in order to upgrade to -63. check the ftp server for apt. http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.2-i386/RPMS.base/ I found -19 which probably needs -15, which is the version that came on the discs. download the -19rpm and install with kpackage hopefully that will work. If you can't find it try to upgrade kde, maybe you'll find it later. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro

Remove the apt components ending with the suffix "-prpm", because (text from http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm): APT components with the suffix "-prpm" hold patch rpms (prpm). These highly interesting rpms provide the files necessary to patch an rpm that is already installed This can reduce the package size quite a lot and thus saving quite a lot of bandwidth. Drawback: APT will fail sometimes in case the to be patched rpm is not installed... Workaround, just remove the component with the suffix "-prpm" from the sources.list file, this will force apt to download and install the full/normal rpm. It's now possible to put the component with the "-prpm" suffix back (which is nice for apt/download server) in the sources.list file. I hope this clarifies it a bit. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
