I'm afraid disabling and then attempting to install the version from the repo just doesn't work. Precisely, it doesn't detect the official Ubuntu version. Also ubuntu-desktop depends on Evince, so I can't uninstall Evince only.
This happened just after I updated from Jaunty to Karmic, and it never occurred before, say, installing the PPA. The reason I have the other version is because it patches poppler or whatever engine is being used to support cleartype font hinting. The default reader renders fonts really badly, and totally ignoring platform hint settings. That package --- improved lcd filtering --- patches it. % grep -i ppa.launchpad.net /etc/apt/sources.list # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/improved-lcd-filtering/ppa/ubuntu karmic main # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/improved-lcd-filtering/ppa/ubuntu karmic main # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu karmic main # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu karmic main # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main Sorry about the late reply. —Mohamed On 24/12/09 11:41, Dennis Sheil wrote: > You have three versions listed in your version table.
