Well you could always grab the debs by hand with ftp and then your dpkg -f to install them. Other than that once you got dependancy problems you either resolve them or have a broken system. I had the same problems with ximian and I grabed the offending pakages off the oficiall archives and forced the installs and now my system is happy again. -Scott Henson
