Newbie with apt-get problem



Hello. I'm a Debian newbie, although I've used it briefly in the past, and
have used Linux for about seven years (mainly RedHat).

I'm using a box that's running Woody and it looks like it's got a problem.
I went to install a package and I'm getting some errors. When I run
apt-get check, here's the output:

  attic:~# apt-get check
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
  Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
    kdebase-libs: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.1-11) but 4:2.1.2-3 is
  installed
    kdm: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.1-11) but 4:2.1.2-3 is installed
    libkonq3: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.1-11) but 4:2.1.2-3 is installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

So, I tried following those instructions:

  attic:~# apt-get -f install
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  Correcting dependencies... Done
  The following extra packages will be installed:
    kdelibs3
  3 packages not fully installed or removed.
  Need to get 0B/6758kB of archives. After unpacking 5603kB will be used.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

   /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs3_4%3a2.2.1-14_i386.deb
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any clues? I'm not able to install anything at this point...


Thanks,

Rich
