    unable to install using apt

    apt-get install gaim

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.

    Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
    the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
    that package should be filed.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    gaim: Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.9.0) but it is not installable
    Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.6.0) but it is not installable
    Depends: libgtkspell0 (>= 2.0.2) but it is not installable
    Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.8.1) but it is not installable
    E: Broken packages

    I even tried different packages but i get the same error ? any idea ?

    Re: unable to install using apt

    can you post your /etc/apt/source.list file contents ?

    I guess you using debtag(or something like this, I can't recall the name properly) repositories, they don't play well with kubuntu.
    cheers!

          I don't know. According to this packages search, you shouldn't have to enable universe.

            yeah, but I guess you need universe to install these packages
            Code:
            gaim: Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.9.0) but it is not installable
    Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.6.0) but it is not installable
    Depends: libgtkspell0 (>= 2.0.2) but it is not installable
    Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.8.1) but it is not installable
            cheers!
