Derek, Thanks for the reply.
I think you're right about Adept automatically adding hardy-proposed. I
know I didn't add it, and all of my Kubunty Hardys have it in
/etc/apt/sources.list.
I removed hardy-proposed from /etc/apt/sources.list and then ran sudo
apt-get update and that seems to have solved most of my problems. I
still have one app I can't add (gramofile) on this system. I get a
dependency error.
fftw2 depends on libmpich1.0gf which is not going to be installed.
E: Broken packages.
When I try to install libmpich1.0gf I get a similar message about
libgfortran2. When I try to install libgfortran2 I get another similar
message about gcc-4.2-base. When I try to install gcc-4.2-base I get a
message saying its already at the newest version 4.2. How can I tell
where the problem is. What might be preventing me from installing this
application.
Gramofile installed fine on my other 2 Kubuntu hardy systems. fftw2 was
already installed.
Thanks,
Rick
