W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)

this is what i get every time i do an apt-get install

try apt-get update first.

However, if you are running from CD or poorman's install, don't bother. You cannot install anything to it and even you do, it won't be there next time you boot.

its what happens when i do apt-get update.. and i can't install anything. I tried apt-get upgrade and that dies out it gives me the same errors

and here it what i get when i install libxv1

(Reading database ... 113597 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libxv1 (from //root/libxv1_4.3.0-7_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing //root/libxv1_4.3.0-7_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXv.so.1.0', which is also in package xlibs
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
//root/libxv1_4.3.0-7_i386.deb

and i did apt-get update
apt-get -f update

oh well LIBXV1 is mesed up and i don't know how to fix it.

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # character at the start of the lines for the people.debian.org and the kitname then update again the location of the archives have changed and the lines are no longer valid.

That output does not look right did you download the package and try to install that way? To correct the error you are getting use dpkg -i --force-overwrite /root/libxv1_4.3.0-7_i386.deb to over write the offending file. And you may want to use dpkg --configure -a to configure any packages that have been left unconfigured if they were more that were being installed at the same time.
