Debian apps install with dselect,tasksel or aptitude always crash.
Ok, here is my problem. I'm *trying* to install debian sarge with the beta installer (110mb cd). I have the woody cds and my network is working so installing apps shouldnt be a problem. I tried tasksel, dselect and aptitude and all 3 won't install. Well, with dselect and aptitude I usually get unfixable dependencies errors... But I tried tasksel and choose a couple of things and it still won't install and give me packages errors or something I can't quite remember the error message. I really want my apps to work cause right now I have nothing on it and I can't seem to be able to install anything... Any ideas? I wan't mostly my kde desktop up and running with useful apps like text editors such as gedit, apps like xmms, xine, some games and other apps. I thought debian was supposed to fix depenencies by itself but mine never fixes itself and browsing through 15000 apps and fix broken packages is really long and I tried yesterday for like 2 hours and I always end up having like 10 broken packages then I remove 1 and there I have like 150 broken packages and I have to start all again. If anyone can help me it would be appreciated as I tried fedora, mandrake and redhat and I thought they were a little bit too noobish especially mandrake and redhat.
Sorry for long text but thanks for the help.
