I had tried dpkg --force-depends, but it gave me the same errors, and the same installation result as straight dpkg -i. It seems that because the unmet dependencies are only need for options and configuration, that the program installs and runs in default mode. That would be fine, except that it prevents apt-get update/upgrade from running. I am now running it in default mode from klik. As klik does not interface with the apt database, it does not affect future system updates. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
