As has already been suggested, aptitude is one way to go. If you are not comfortable with aptitude, run script and then apt-get. Say no and drop back to the prompt.

That should be the easiest method :-) Regards, -- Sridhar M.A. GPG KeyID : F6A35935 Fingerprint: D172 22C4 7CDC D9CD 62B5 55C1 2A69 D5D8 F6A3 5935 Excusing bad programming is a shooting offence, no matter _what_ the circumstances. -- Linus Torvalds, to the linux-kernel list
