Apt-get Problem

[Amichai Rotman]

It does - about 177 of them. That's why I don't paste it in here...

It also scrolls out of the max lines in the buffer memory, so I cannot snip.

All details are in my OP:

dpkg  clames each of the packages has a configure error (<package_name
--configure failed due to a dependency problem)

There's gotta be a way to make apt forget these packages...
