[TriLUG] MP3 Question

Hey I tried that Synaptic just now to see what it was like and it
indicated that I had some "broken" packages.  How do I "fix" them?  I
tried going to "Upgrade All", but it said I had to take care of the
broken packages first.  When I click "Remove" on a "broken" package it
tries to remove a bunch of packages, including ones that I want to keep.
~ If I allow Synaptic to remove those packages, will it re-install them
with the correct dependencies?

Thanks,
Jeff

| I have used Grip downloaded at freshrpms.net successfully on RH9

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/grip/grip-3.0.7-fr1.i386.rpm

| If you first download and install the apt rpm
|
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/apt/apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr2.i386.rpm
|
| and the synaptic rpm
|
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/synaptic/synaptic-0.36.1-fr1.i386.rpm
|
| Then you can use synaptic to download and install apps from freshrpms

|
| OTOH, if you're new to Linux and want to learn how things work under the

| Caveat emptor, YMMV, etc. etc..
