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 Hit http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com unstable/main Packages Hit http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com unstable/main Release Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Release Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/contrib Packages Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/contrib Release Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/non-free Packages Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/non-free Release Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Release Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/contrib Release Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Release Hit ftp://spidermonkey.ximian.com ./ Packages Get:1 ftp://spidermonkey.ximian.com ./ Release Ign ftp://spidermonkey.ximian.com ./ Release Hit http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Sources Ign http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Release Hit http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/contrib Sources Ign http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/contrib Release Hit http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/non-free Sources Ign http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/non-free Release Reading Package Lists...

Done 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! |nank. -- Adam J.
