Hi, I get this error when I try to use apt-get install hellanzb.

I thought it would download all the dependencies but it wont for some reason. Maybe it is just I do not know what to do but I hae not had this problem till now.

I also tried it with python 2.5 but had the same problems.

Can anyone help me out?

Code Sample
dsl@box:~$ su
Password:
root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get install hellanzb
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
hellanzb is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hellanzb: Depends: python (>= 2.3) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: python-support (>= 0.2) but it is not going to be inst
           Depends: python-twisted-core (>= 2.0) but it is not going to bealled
           Depends: python-twisted-web but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: par2 (>= 0.4) but it is not going to be installed
 python2.5: Depends: python2.5-minimal (= 2.5-5) but it is not going to bealled
            Depends: mime-support but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.2.ds1-10 is to be installe
            Depends: libdb4.4 but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libncursesw5 (>= 5.4-5) but it is not going to be insd
            Depends: libreadline5 (>= 5.2) but it is not going to be insta
            Depends: libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.3.8) but it is not going to be insd
            Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1) but it is not going to be iled
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specifolution).

try to see wat r the dependencies for the hellaznb "(its listed in the output u posted) and check its availability, (its showing it has a higher version of some of the libs but looks still one of the libs s missing (" Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.2.ds1-10 is to be installed")) and install them seperately using apt or any means. try again installing the package....

Which deb version were you trying to install? The further you go along the chain: archived (woody) -> oldstable -> stable -> testing/unstable/experimental, the more you will see this kind of error.

It might be better to try and compile from binaries than go the deb route in this case?
