Hello FOlks,
I want to install malsync, so that I can synchronise my Palm with the AVantgo server, via linux.
However, I get the following message:
root@LinuxBox:/home/roy# apt-get install malsync
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
malsync: Depends: libpisock8 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Any suggestions? |

Well Sid had libpisock9 but malsync depends on libpisock8 so......
Add a stable repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.
Code:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
Update and install:
Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install malsync
