    Multiple Problems | Help please

    Hello all. First, I wanted to say sorry for posting quite a long topic, but I thought it'd be better to open one post rather than clutter the forum with multiple ones. Alright, well, I did an hd install of knoppix since I liked it so much, but altogether then, I seem to have encountered a few problems. One of them being that I can't open applications like xchat, synaptic and gaim to name a few. The good news is that I get pretty much the same error msg when those applications don't open. For example:
    Code:
    knoppix@ttyp2[knoppix]$ xchat
    Error reading Pango modules file
    
    ** (xchat:26560): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
    were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
    there was an error in the creation of:
      '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
    You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.
    
    (xchat:26560): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
    
    ** (xchat:26560): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68 (_pango_engine_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed
    
    ** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)
    aborting...
    Aborted
    Just to show that their mostly similar:
    Code:
    knoppix@ttyp2[knoppix]$ synaptic
    Error reading Pango modules file
    
    ** (synaptic:26710): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
    were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
    there was an error in the creation of:
      '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
    You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.
    
    (synaptic:26710): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
    
    ** (synaptic:26710): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68 (_pango_engine_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed
    
    ** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)
    aborting...
    Aborted
    So I try running pango-querymodules, but it doesn't really help:
    Code:
    knoppix@ttyp2[knoppix]$ pango-querymodules
    # Pango Modules file
    # Automatically generated file, do not edit

    That is one of the problems I seem to come across. The other one has to do with apt-get install function:

    Code:
    root@ttyp2[knoppix]# apt-get install bitchx
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      libice-dev: Depends: libice6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libsm-dev: Depends: libsm6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libx11-dev: Depends: libx11-6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxext-dev: Depends: libxext6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxi-dev: Depends: libxi6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxmu-dev: Depends: libxmu6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxmuu-dev: Depends: libxmuu1 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxp-dev: Depends: libxp6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxpm-dev: Depends: libxpm4 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4)
      libxrandr-dev: Depends: libxrandr2 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxt-dev: Depends: libxt6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxtrap-dev: Depends: libxtrap6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxtst-dev: Depends: libxtst6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
      libxv-dev: Depends: libxv1 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
    W: Couldn't stat source package list http://non-us.debian.org ./ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/non-us.debian.org_%7ekitame_mozilla_._Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
    W: Couldn't stat source package list http://people.debian.org sid/i386/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/people.debian.org_%7ebranden_packages_sid_i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
    W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
    So I try apt-get -f install, unsure of whether that will help. Here are a list of the packages that'll be installed :
    Code:
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      libice6 libsm6 libx11-6 libxext6 libxi6 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxp6 libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6
      libxv1
    It tries to unpack, but I get this same error with every package that is trying to be installed:
    Code:
    dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
    Unpacking libxtrap6 (from .../libxtrap6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb) ...
    Also, thank you for taking your time to read this, and once again sorry for the long post. And if it helps, I'm running Knoppix 3.3.

    You never showed the important part of the error but with this one it is most likely needing to overwrite the file use.

    Code:
    dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libxtrap6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb
    For these parts you need to comment out the lines in your sources.list for the people.debian and kitname ones.

    Code:
    W: Couldn't stat source package list http://non-us.debian.org ./ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/non-us.debian.org_%7ekitame_mozilla_._Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) 
    W: Couldn't stat source package list http://people.debian.org sid/i386/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/people.debian.org_%7ebranden_packages_sid_i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) 
    W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

    Then you need to run apt-get update I have no clue on the pango problem.
