Hey Mats i managed to get rid of the apt-get problem, but i think it's an error in the packages..it says that lilypond 1.4 needs: tetex-bin, which needs tetex-lib, and libkpathsea3. I have installed the tetex packages, and when i try to intall the libkpathsea3 package it says that the package conflicts with tetex-lib. so i try to remove tetex-lib and install libkpathsea3, which works, but then i can't install lilypond because tetex isn't installed, and i can;t install tetex-lib because libkpathsea3 is installed.. so the paths cross somewhere.. i tried everything you mentioned, but it still doesn't work.
