Installing centericq problem

[Eguks]

Hello all!

does anybody knows what shall I do with this message:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
centericq: Depends: centericq-common but it is not going to be installed
libqt3-mt-dev: Depends: libxcursor-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I got it after i ve tried to install centericq on my knoppix 3.2 . I have tried to do what it sugests :
apt-get -f install but with no luck

if u know what it is, please answer me

Try this apt-get -s install centericq centericq-common libxcursor-dev if it looks good then remove the -s from the line to install if it does not want to install then post the entire message. And if the libxcursor-dev gives you an error about not being able to install because it cannot overwite a file then cd /var/cache/apt/archives next dpkg -i --force-overwrite libxcursor-dev to force the overwriting.

thanx a lot

Stephen hi,

So you change to /var/cache/apt/archives and use the --force-overwrite command that I gave you above that is why I included it in my response. BTW if I did not already know what the problem was then the parts of the error you are posting are not enough most times we need to see the whole output of the commands to be able to help.

thanx for your time Stephen but i got tired from this problem, cause i'm trying to solve it for 3 days now, so i am installing knoppix 3.3 .
if then it won't work, i'll try what you wrote me to do in your last message.

[Eguks]

I did changed to /var/cache/apt/archives and wrote the command you gave me, but the response was as i posted before.this was the entire error message. before that it was ok

Alright I'm a bit confused here with what you mean "before that it was ok" do you mean when you used the install line that every thing went fine with no errors if so you do not need to use the force overwrite because everything installed fine. What I mean by the entire message is we have to see everything like this:

By posting this we get to see the command used and what apt is doing it makes it easier try and figure out what is going wrong. Hopefully the install of 3.3 goes well and you do not have any problem if you do post back.

Stephen, here is the whole procces:

Reading Package Lists... Done

centericq-common is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.1.4-3)
Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.1.4-1) but 4:3.1.2-2.1 is to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

i have tried some apt-get -f upgrade before, so now even what was right, isn't working

Much better now I can see what is going on. It is telling you that the centericq-common already is installed at the latest version for testing which is the default release for Knoppix. To solve the KDE problem you need to install the latest versions of the programs it wants so apt-get -s install kdelibs-data kdelibs-bin if it looks good remove the -s to install you may have to use kdelibs-data/unstable and the same on the end of the -bin in the install line. Can you post the output of apt-cache policy libxcursor-dev the centericq and centericq-common as well.
