grrrr is there away to clear out apt-get cause now I can't install anything with apt-get without getting that above. I need apt-get to install stuff but over and over it gets hung up there - did that to me during the apt-get dist-upgrade, I really don't want to reinstall either.

Just find the libntfs package somewhere and install it . . and see if the Eterm you wanted to install stops complaining about a missing dependencyB) BrunoPS: Not sure why you would need "libntfs" for installing Eterm thoughUPDATE: After reading the thread again: Try

apt-get -f install libntfs5

KellyWhat if you remove:

apt-get remove libntfs5

Then remove manualy:/var/cache/apt/archives/libntfs5_1.9.0-1_i386.debThen

apt-get -f install libntfs5

Package libntfs5 is not installed, so not removed
It is getting weirder every minute ! . . . . What is this package: "testdisk" ?? . . that one failes because libntfs5 is missing . . . What if you do
apt-get -f install testdisk
