atp-get broken

[Cuddles]

Hi

I wanted to install new packeges with apt-get and at first it worked fine, but one time it messed something up because of unmet dependency issues. So the package installation couldn't complete. Now when i want to install another package it gives me the same old crap about the uncompleted installation and to solve it - i should
apt-get -f install
(without any package)
OK i do that but then it gives another error that is a bit similar to that in the first place.

here it is:

• The following extra packages will be installed:
  kdelibs-data libx11-6 libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxslt1.1 x-dev
  The following packages will be REMOVED:

what should i do?

Jux,

Is it me, or does 94 packages message appear too high??? I freak out when I just get ONE of these... (I am "way" out of my depth here, so, I am just pointing out what "I" see as "above normal", from what I can see... You tried to apt-get install a "big" set of packages "previously" -=- which evidently, died before it could complete its work. Now "that" previous install is forcing itself to be fixed, hopefully, before anything else can get even more messed up)

I had this happen twice: first was after doing an apt-get upgrade - and "joe" messed it up, and the other was trying to get ALSA working on my system. (if I recall my memory correctly) my system got so messed up, I had to re-install. Hopefully, someone else has better answers than me, and this "resolve" it not something you "have" to do, Jux.
