Hi

I just started using Knoppix and am loving it, its super slick and makes the most out of my nomraly super restricted work laptop :P

I am trying to get Skype working to, I update sources.list with the correct repo, however on installation Synaptic fails as it refuses to install a couple of dependent lib files:

skype:
Depends: libqt4-dbus but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqt4-network but it is not going to be installed

Ok I thought, I can add them mysefl through SynapticPM, BUT on selection SPM marks a lot of VERY critical packages for removal including compiz, gparted, iceweasel, vlc and more!

Seems to me doing this will kill my pendrive! Can someone explain to me please what is going on here? and why? Is there a way to resolve this issue to get Skype working?

Many thanks!

P.S. please be gentle... this is my first post!!
