Weird, [root@pig root]# apt-get install vnc-server Processing File Dependencies... Done Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: vnc-server: Depends: / but it is not installable Depends: is but it is not installable Depends: not but it is not installable Depends: owned but it is not installable Depends: by but it is not installable Depends: any but it is not installable Depends: package but it is not installable Depends: in/ but it is not installable Depends: in/perl but it is not installable Sorry, broken packages I thought this was fixed long ago. I checked the spec file but there is nothing obviously wrong (of course I am a newbie in terms of rpm packaging :-) ). Any ideas on what is wrong here? Thanks, Alkis
