Hi all
Tried to install more screensavers than default which required xscreensaver-data-extra as a dependency.
Unfortunately there is a conflict with pacman (previously installed for the kids).
When I try to get rid of pacman via "sudo apt-get remove pacman" I get the following:
"apt-get -r install" wants me to install SC 4.4.2 (which I would rather not do until this is sorted).
Ditto with "sudo dpkg --configure -a".
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Andy
