I tried several solutions mentioned, and here is what I get:
You might want to tun 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following pacakages have unmet depencencies:
gettext: Depends: gettext-el but it is not going to be installed
x-window-system: Depends: twm but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xnest but it is not going to be installed
: xspecs "
: xterm "
: xvfb "
Now when I try 'apt-get -f install'
It tells me that 18 packages not fully installed and I need to get
0B/41.8kB
I answer [Y] but it fails????
Any ideas?
My partition, 1G, was filling up /usr
I have deselected many packages, so there is plenty of room, of the
command above still fails???
