Chris Synaptic failed to install Sawfish saying:
"Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages firs." Perhaps it is because when i updated the package list a dialog said: GPG error: http://apt.nanolx.org photonic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4B9D3375057549E2Failed to fetch http://apt.nanolx.org/dists/photonic/main/binary-i386/Packages 500 Internal Server Error Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
