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.

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