[clug-talk] Knoppix and apt-get

[Jason Louie]

	Hey gang, I've once again gone on my quest to taste another flavor of 
Linux.  My dish for this install is a debian based system.  So being 
intimidated and mostly lazy with downloading the 7 disk iso from 
linuxiso.org and installing Debian from scratch.  I've decided that a 
Debian based distro Knoppix 3.3 would suit me just fine.  So I followed 
the instructions to install Knoppix to the hard drive and then went to 
my favorite part with upgrading.  So running "apt-get update" and 
"apt-get upgrade" and playing around with trying to get the latest 
versions installed I've gotten into a snag.  It seems that apt-get tried 
to install a package due to a dependency issue now apt-get is not able 
to install any other packages and is not able to fix things either with 
the -f option.  The package is libxcursor-dev.  How can I find what is 
causing this package to be installed or how can I fix this issue?  Also 
where I can get a list sources to get a stable versions of packages?  I 
don't need bleeding edge but having the complete version releases would 
be nice.  Any help would be appreciated.
