please help me for this matter .
I will crazy as soon if this problem not solve !!!
please help ... please help !
where is the problem !?
well, those errors are telling you that the deb you are trying to install requires other deb's to function. Why don't you use apt-get? that would automatically solve those problems.
You'll need to temporarily add the testing repositories, but that won't be too terribly bad.
Edit (as the super-user) /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following line:
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
save the file
in a terminal,
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install kchmviewer
and that should download the necesary files, and install them.
after that, reopen /etc/apt/sources.list
add a # to the beginning of the line you added, and save the file
debian:~# apt-get update ............ Fetched 5816kB in 3m44s (25.9kB/s) Reading Package Lists... Done debian:~# apt-get install kchmviewer Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done kchmviewer is already the newest version. You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kchmviewer: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.5-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.2.ds1-22 is to be installed Depends: libchm1 (>= 0.36-3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0) but 2.3.1-2 is to be installed Depends: libfreetype6 (>= 2.2) but 2.1.7-2.4 is to be installed Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-12) but 1:3.4.3-13 is to be installed Depends: libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) but 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 is to be installed Depends: libidn11 (>= 0.5.18) but 0.5.13-1.0 is to be installed Depends: libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.7) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-12) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxinerama1 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
what's the matter ?
what happend !?
problem not solved still !!!
One issue here is that you are trying to install a new package in Sarge. Sarge is Stable. That means, among other things, that if you try to add new packages from any source other than the Sarge repos, or backports.org, you are likely to break your system. It's well past time you moved to Etch instead.
As it says, you should try running 'apt-get -f install' so it can try to fix your dependency problems. That's usually enough to fix it.
tnx my brothers .
but in the last time than I installed debian in my computer I understand the problem and follow your command : apt-get -f install
but this is very bad !!!
when i restarted my linux ..... the kde + Gnome and very softwares deleted !!!
it is a jeer problem !
one of my friends told me : the problem are dependcies !!!
in the debian installation i didn't introduce all 14 cd of debian !
i'm forgot this matter .
bu with the following command i introdocted all 14 cd in the 1 hours ago : apt-setup
but this is no useful and my problem don't solved still !
do u like to attach the content of etc/apt/sources.list here ?

is it have problem ?
please help me my friends . (
It looks like you started with unstable so you may want to stick with it.
In your sources.list move the line "deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free" to the top of the list and change testing to unstable.
In your sources.list move the line "deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free" to the top of the list and change testing to unstable.
Then "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"
My prediction: If you do that your system will die ... but that's OK. You need to start over and install Etch from the get-go, anyway.
