In general, getting apt to finish its stuff is usually done by apt-get -f install If it doesn't work, post the output. If it finishes well - can be verified by running again - it should say it has nothing to do - you should be ok. If you still have this problem, usual debugging is needed... -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
