Re: X update problem
I did apt-get install xf86setup, but it did not work. I received the
following error.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependancies:
xf86setup: Depends: tcl 8.0(>=8.0.4) but it is not installable
Depends: tk 8.0(>=8.0.4) but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages
I then tried apt-get update xf86setup, that ran without error. But
when I did apt-get install xf86setup, I received the same errors.
Dselect shows xf86setup 3.3.2 as not being installed, was:install and
there are two ** in the left hand column.
