I screwed up. I tried updating my system and the upgrade made the system worst. So I put the old os back on and apt-get doesn't work. I can't apt-get gnucash. I think apt.conf is messed up. this is it's present state: APT::Default-Release "unstable"; APT::Cache-Limit 20000000; Apt::Get::Purge; isn't a 'fix-broken' , 'fix-missing', and other things supposed to be in there? If so would I just follow the above I increased the 'Cache-Limit' because I was getting an MMap error. Is it too big? What do you think..... should I d/l the gnucash tarball or will I then be a victim of (or rather experience) dependency hell? I just re4alized that I made a backup of the old one! Is this appropriate? How should i improve it? //save in /etc/apt/apt.conf //APT::Default-Release "stable"; APT::Default-Release "unstable"; APT::Cache-Limit 10000000; Apt::Get::Purge; APT::Get::Fix-Broken "true"; //APT::Force-LoopBreak "true"; //APT::Get::Assume-No --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
