In trying to install Digikam 1.7 on Kubuntu 10.10 I got myself into<br>
dependency hell. I was installing some Natty packages with dpkg. Now I<br>
cannot even open Konsole, Dolphin, or any other KDE app other that<br>
what is already open. When I try to "apt-get install -f" in a virtual<br>
terminal it wants to remove almost everything! Of course, I cannot cut<br>
and paste from there. Of course, the apt-get database is up to date<br>
with the proper repos.<br>
<br>
Help! I don't know what to do! I tried removing the last packages<br>
installed as listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info (with a simple ls -la<br>
command in there), but aptitiude and apt-get both want to remove 200<br>
packages even when I try to remove just those ten or so.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Maybe try to run 'ldd' on a binary that doesn't work, see if there's a missing lib there. If you find one, try to re-install the package that provides that lib manually...<br><br>
