Hi everyone,
I somehow found myself the proud owner of an old PowerMac G4. With a
450Mhz CPU, 768MB RAM, 80GB HDD, it's not a bad little computer!
Naturally, the first thing I do is slap Ubuntu on there.
So earlier today, I'm rocking out on it, and all of a sudded I get
myself a messy error: E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f
install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Apt worked great until I tried installing KDE from apt (The version
I'm using is 6.06 Server PPC, so it didn't come with a GUI) and now
whenever I try installing anything else from packages, I get that
little error. Installing from source works fine, just apt is all
wonky. I tried adding more repositories, changing the repositories,
and using the Ubuntu cd. I even tried a dist-upgrade, but to no avail.
There's got to be something I'm missing. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dan Ryan
