    adept prob. unable to download anything

    I have recently installed kubuntu.

    I cannot install any packages from adept at all.
    I have access to universe and mulitverse and the headers are downloaded ok
    I can search through the software and mark for download
    whenever I click the "request install" button the "requested" column displays "BREAK (install)" and then when I click on "apply changes" I get the error box labeled " Could not commit changes - Adept Manager" with the error message of
    "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages"
    I don't know what that means but It is frustrating.

    my repositories are
    deb http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
    deb-src http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
    deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted

    when i fetch updates it tells me there is 15583 items to download

    i marked for downloading aa3d and it did NOT tell me "BREAK (install)" it just said "install" and that downloaded and installed correctly.
    but if I mark "sun-java5-bin" or "firefox" or anything useful then it will say "BREAK (install)"

    I am thinking it cannot download them because I have to install something else first, but I don't know what that is.

    any help?

    That is an incomplete repository list, you should have at least these:
    dapper main restricted
    dapper universe multiverse
    dapper-updates main restricted
    dapper-updates universe multiverse
    dapper-security main restricted
    dapper-security universe multiverse

    You can get a pretty good repository list to start with here:
    http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.php

    If you wish to use your local new zealand mirror and easily add kubuntu.org repos as well, you could try source-o-matic to create a custom list:

      thanks Kubicle that was the problem - incomplete repository list
      i went to http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
      and chose my country (NZ) and checked the following boxes
      NZ
      x -include updates
      x -include security updates
      -ubuntu supported packages
      x-packages
      x-sources
      -ubuntu supported packages
      x-packages
      x-sources

      once i enabled those repositories everything worked properly.
      I guess it could not download supporting files from ubuntu.

      again thanks
