Correct. If you must use "dkg -i" to install something you must make sure that you have installed the required decencies. Option 1. If you .deb files of the dependencies you can install them all at the same time: eg. # dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.5-0.2_i386.deb libc6_xxx.deb libdb1-compat_yyy.deb Option 2. Install the dependencies first using apt-get: eg. # apt-get install libc6 libdb1-compat # dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.5-0.2_i386.deb HTH, Nick. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux twofish 2.6.0-test9-looxt93c1 i686 GNU/Linux
