I've never ran across this situation before, but it looks like it finally installed the packages. If you read the man pages for apt-get, it says this about the -f option:
It also is tell you to remove unused packages. It will continue to do this until you run this command:Code:-f, --fix-broken Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. Any Package that are specified must completely correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a system. It is possible that a system´s dependency structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means using dselect(8) or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an error in some situations. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.
Code:apt-get autoremove

Am now using my Fedora 10.
I lost my debian desktop when I restarted. I mean all the short cuts are no longer there. I will have to make a fresh reinstall again and work my way through all the instructions except the
"apt-get autoremove ". At least I can study along the way.
darn! goin bananas here 
I will post back as soon as I am done and continue my quest for wireless debian. Thank you guys!
- 09-23-2009 #48
I was going to say, I wouldn't actually do the apt-get autoremove. If you look at the list of items, it includes your kde desktop.

Hello Guys,
I am now CABLE FREE on my debian! I think I know what the culprit was. My installation of the wireless went smooth. Hereunder are my outputs.
I think the culprit was when I was trying to install flashplayer, I added "deb Index of /debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free" to the /etc/apt/sources.list. As suggested in this link http://http://backports.org/dokuwiki...d=instructions
While I was trying to reinstall my flashplayer, I noticed it says something about "backports" which was also mentioned in the error reports I was getting. So this time around, I did not install it.
Well anyway, I hope this experience of mine can help also those who would desire to install wireless on their lenny.
Once again, thank you to those who tried to help, special mention to the two gurus who stuck it out with me until it was solved.
