Hiya.
In a new hdd install of Knoppix 3.3, apt won't cooperate. The sources.list was huge and apt-get update caused tons of 404 errors; no there's nothing wrong with my connection.
I shrank it to a single source, deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free and it apt-get updated properly. But then I tired to apt-get install gnome and it yelled at me saying it depended on gnome-desktop-environment.
Err... I thought the whole point of apt-get was to automatically resolve these kinds of dependencies?
Anyway I kept adding stuff it depended on to the apt-get statement until it finally started downloading GNOME which I am doing now.
How can I reconfigure apt so that when I tell it to apt-get something like this in the future it automatically resolves all those dependencies?
