I've managed to get some sort of 'dependancy that cannot be fixed that 'apt-get -f install' will not fix, the acyual message is below. Until this is resolved apt is broken and I cannot install anything else. I've tried all I could think of doing, 'update' 'remove' 'purge' 'put on hold' without any joy. I cannot be the first to break it!

Follows:-

root@Home:/home/stuart# apt-get -f install
