Maybe posting the exact error message when you try apt-get -f install. Sometimes a dpkg --auto-deconfigure -i <package> or in extreme circumstances, like this one ;-), a dpkg --force-all --install <package> BUT read the man page for dpkg FIRST and also read dpkg --force-help | less You could purge the offending package then reinstall it. -- Chris. ====== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
