Hello.
After the recent upgrade of Sawfish, I find that I cannot run
`sawfish-ui`:
$ sawfish-ui
error--> (file-error "No such file or directory" "sawfish/client")
After following the suggestions at
<http://www.sawfish.org/threads.phtml?sid=34>, this is what I
receive:
# apt-get update && apt-get remove rep && apt-get clean && apt-get
install task-helix-gnome

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:
task-helix-gnome: Depends: gnome-games but it is not going to
be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
# dpkg -l 'sawfish*' 'rep*'
pn sawfish <none> (no description available)
ii sawfish-gnome 0.37.3-3 A highly configurable window manager
for X11
pn sawfish-lisp-s <none> (no description available)
pn sawfish-merlin <none> (no description available)
pn sawfish-themes <none> (no description available)
ii rep 0.13.4-helix1 lisp command interpreter frontends to
librep
pn rep-doc <none> (no description available)
ii rep-gtk 0.15-helix3 GTK binding for librep
ii rep-gtk-gnome 0.15-helix3 GTK binding for librep with gnome
support
ii reportbug 1.14 Reports bugs in the Debian
distribution.
pn reppu <none> (no description available)
Now, these broken deps are for stuff that I really don't want
anyways. In garrett's instructions, what individual packages are
required? I really don't want everything that task-helix-gnome
provides.
I also tried s/task-helix-gnome/task-helix-core/, with no luck.
Unfortunately, I do not understand how to resolve this issue by
myself with just the information from Sawfish's forum. If anyone
has a clear explanation and solution to this problem--or some
otherwise helpful insight--please respond to this thread.
Thank you all, kindly. Long live LISP!
