apt-get install ....but no installation

So i do apt-get install xmltv and it downloads xmltv and all its dependencies...but it doesn't install them. In synaptic, i mark xmltv for installation and press apply, but it doesn't install them....what the heck is going on?

Any system error message?

i belive there is an option to use packeges already downloaded, this coupled with the verbose option should tell you a little more.

it was a gpg error...so i guess something with package signatures...i found out that apt-get automatically checks for signatures but that you can disable it by using the following command

apt-get -o rpm::gpg-check=false install xmltv

thanks
