You probably just want the headers for your flavor. If you're not running xen/vserver, you just need linux-headers-2.6.18-6-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.18-6, not the "all" packages. You should be able to clean up your system with: # apt-get -f install And try again. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
