I must have mistreated a potato ;-> can anyone help me please ?
I had a nice and clean potato installation.
At a certain point I needed to install a qpopper 4.x debian package which
forced me to upgrade libc6 to 2.2.4
After a certain number of problems with apt-get which I cannot clearly
reconstruct I am in the following position.
An apt-get -f install removed mozilla and libgtk1.2.
Now I would like to reinstall mozilla and I get the following error:
lori-renato:/home/bob# apt-get install mozilla <-----------------------

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
mozilla: Depends: libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.7-1) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
lori-renato:/home/bob# apt-get install libgtk1.2

libgtk1.2: Depends: gconv-modules
E: Sorry, broken packages
Now this gconv-modules is nowhere to be found !!!
my /etc/apt/source.list only has the following line:
deb http://debian.hursley.ibm.com/debian stable main contrib non-free
How do I go about it to redress the situation ?
Thank you very much.
