Thread: Apt hates me?

    Apt hates me?

    Forgive my ignorance, but I thought the whole point of apt was to automatically solve these kinds of problems.
    Code:
    root@klinux:/home/knoppix# apt-get install gnome
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    
    Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
    the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
    that package should be filed.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 41) but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: gnome-office (= 41) but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: evolution but it is not going to be installed or
                      balsa but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: rhythmbox but it is not going to be installed
    E: Broken packages
    root@klinux:/home/knoppix#

    I ran into this same problem recently, but it did work before. I think something is broken in Debian. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

    I noticed this at first too. But then I searched on the forum and found where Rickenbacherus suggested to install "gnome-bin" rather than just "gnome". And that worked fine for me. I think I had to then install gnome-core separately, but I had gnome up and running in no time.

    # apt-get install -t unstable gnome-bin
    # apt-get install -t unstable gnome-core

    Try that. I figured gnome-core was necessary...so I installed it...it might not be. But either way that worked for me.

    I got the same problem, and am in the process of running that last apt-get command.

    I thought the problem may be related to the Debian servers being down, but I guess not.
