The plot thickens. I solved it in the end by adding: deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/freetype/i386/ ./ deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/fontconfig/i386/ ./ Turned out to be a problem with openoffice: brain:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get install openoffice.org-bin Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libfreetype6 (< 2.1.0) but 2.1.3-7 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages brain:/var/cache/apt/archives# I need the later libfreetype6. I'll have to have a word with the openoffice.org maintainers and see if there's a workaround. Antony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
