Try dpkg -i force-overwrite libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb and that should let you install other applications.Originally Posted by lavaman094
Somehow I got a broken dependency....I thought apt wouldn't let that happen...but somehow I guess it did....so it says so "apt-get install -f"....and I did....and it says:

So here I am still stuck with this broken dependency. I can't run apt-get upgrade to upgrade any packages it seems until this is fixed....does anybody know what the problem is?

You would have to cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ first to be in the actual directory where the file is sorry should have been clearer in the instructions.Originally Posted by lavaman094
That, I also tried, but it errors:You would have to cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ first to be in the actual directory where the file is sorry should have been clearer in the instructions.

That's weird check if the file is in the cache directory if not you should go to http://packages.debian.org and download the package to the archives directory and install it.
OK, i downloaded it and it autoopened with Kpackage and I selected install, and I got an error which looks pretty much like the same error I've been getting before:Originally Posted by Stephen

Right click and use save as to save the package on the HD then move the package to the cache directory and try to install from there I have never used kpackage but I would image it is not trying to force an overwrite it is just trying to install normally.Originally Posted by lavaman094
Thanks for trying to help me. I did that, and put the file in /var/cache/apt/archives. I then did "apt-get -f install", but got the same error. I'm thinking the problem doesn't have to do with the package and has to do with "/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xcursor/Xcursor.h'".Right click and use save as to save the package on the HD then move the package to the cache directory and try to install from there I have never used kpackage but I would image it is not trying to force an overwrite it is just trying to install normally.
