I've been using linux less than a week. Last night I wanted to burn a CD, I thought a front end to cdrecord would be nice. I went after groaster_0.20000513.2.deb, an unstable package.
everything was going cool till it got to libgtkmm, it was listed on the dependency page, but said it was not available. Is there a way around this or have I hit the cutting edge here? Also, while installing I noticed it replaced libc6. I had a funny feeling like I was back in DOS world, where every app you install wants to overwrite a common dll file. Is there a danger I can break the system (running gnome)? this happened to me in FreeBSD 3.1 a few years ago. All color photos I viewed in netscape came out colorized. I put up with it for a long time, then wiped the disk and installed Linux. - greg strockbine
