You might find this interesting: $ sudo aptitude install openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-gb Password: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database... Done No candidate version found for openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-gb The following packages have been kept back: asterisk-sounds-main bison gdm libgal-data planetpenguin-racer slib 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Writing extended state information... Done $ So aptitude command line wants nothing to do with them. To answer your direct question: $ sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-gb Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Package openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-gb is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-gb has no installation candidate (similar to aptitude command line really). The same behaviour occurs after aptitude update (command line) and apt-get update, that is segfault from aptitude UI, no-show from both aptitude and apt-get command lines. For the record, openoffice.org-hyphenation is Suggested by the unstable openoffice.org meta-package (even though the hyphenation package is not in unstable at the moment). Are there two different caches for the package lists? One for the command line and one for the UI? Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
