installing gnome2.2, broken packages
hello,
i was running kde 3 on xfree 4.3 on my woody. i decided to try gnome2.2 and
read that it requires xfree4.2.1. so i got the binaries of xf4.2 and
installed the mandatory one's without overwriting my /etc and xdm/xinit
config files. i then bumped to 4.2.1 using its binaries using pretty much
the same process.
once i had these two in place, i tried installed gnome using "apt-get
install gdm gnome-core gtk-engines..." but i ended up with an error for
broken packages. i tried to analyze the listing to some extent. it seems
that libpango and libgtk are being reported as 1.2.1 and 2.2.1 respectively.
but checking with dpkg -l/-s tells me that i do have their 2.0.2-5woody1 and
1.0.1-3 installed, which seem to be the required versions. so why is apt-get
complaining that the later versions are installed? or am i reading something
wrong? here is the output. someone do let me know where i am screwing up.
thanks.
