dpkg problem
I did an apt-get install task-kde this afternoon. I got a message that task-kde would not be installed because some other package was not installable. After hunting down the problem package, I try to install it :
dimmu:~# apt-get -f install

Errors were encountered while processing:

And that's it. Pretty, huh? I am not given any further detail on what the problem is.
Anybody else ever encountered that ?
Thanks !
