    sudo apt-get -f install

    Hi,
    apt-get tells me i should do an "apt-get -f install" to fix some things that have gone wrong but I always get following:
    reg@NovaxPRG-TXXXX:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
    xaw3dg liblockfile1
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    The following extra packages will be installed:
    kde4base kde4base-data
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
    kde4base kde4base-data

    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install
    should clear up any problems with your package manager. Sometime there can be delays in the migration of new packages out to the mirror servers, so you don't want to be too impatient when you see an update fail to complete due to missing packages. you may just need to wait a couple hours and try it again.

    On the KDE3 login, when you see the login GUI, click the white icon beside the password window, and click "Session" and then click "KDE" instead of "KDE4".

      You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      kde4artwork: Depends: kde4base but it is not installed
      E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
      reg@NovaxPRG-TXXXX:~$

      Thanks for further help!

        Re: sudo apt-get -f install

        hmmm. Well, KDE4 is still pretty new stuff, so we shouldn't be shocked at the occasional mishap. I personally haven't seen this error, but I'm running KDE4 on Hardy Heron which is itself Alpha software (i.e. I have other problems ....).

        So, I guess the obvious thing is to try
        Code:
        sudo apt-get install kde4base
        and let's look at the error output from that.
