Thank you William (Dr. Stein?)

I seem to have a particular snag here. Not sure why.

k...@bart:~$ sudo apt-get install gfortran
[sudo] password for kitz:
Reading package lists... 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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gfortran: Depends: gfortran-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to
be installed
E: Broken packages
k...@bart:~$

When I try to install gfortran-4.4 I get another Broken packages
result.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gfortran-4.4: Depends: gcc-4.4-base (= 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) but
4.4.1-4ubuntu9 is to be installed
                Depends: gcc-4.4 (= 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) but 4.4.1-4ubuntu9
is to be installed
                Depends: libgfortran3 (>= 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

So it seems I am in a loop.

Glad to know it works for your systems...I would like to have installs
predictable (easy) for teaching purposes.
