Transcode/liblcms

[Stephen]

I installed Knoppix to my hard drive (install was cake - great app so far) and I am trying to install Transcode.

I have installed Synaptic to make life easy for a Windows user, but I am having trouble getting this installed due to liblcms not playing well.

If I try to install liblcms it hoses KDE and tries to remove about 75 applications.

Is there a way to install Transcode? (keep in mind this is my first successful HD install of Linux in recorded history so I am very Windows centric).

Unless it is totally uninstable you can get it to work it probably wants to install a older version of liblcms and that is what is causing your problems. Try apt-cache policy liblcms although now that I look at my install liblcms has nothing to do with transcode.

As you can see there is no mention of the liblcms could you post the output of the simulated install command from your install so I can see what it is doing?
