please help me for this matter .
I will crazy as soon if this problem not solve !!!
please help ... please help !
where is the problem !?

well, those errors are telling you that the deb you are trying to install requires other deb's to function. Why don't you use apt-get? that would automatically solve those problems.
You'll need to temporarily add the testing repositories, but that won't be too terribly bad.
Edit (as the super-user) /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following line:
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

save the file

in a terminal,

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get install kchmviewer

and that should download the necesary files, and install them.
after that, reopen /etc/apt/sources.list
add a # to the beginning of the line you added, and save the file

--drew

Tnx for your nice reply my brother .

and that should download the necesary files, and install them.

what's the matter ?
what happend !?
problem not solved still !!!

please help my friends.
problem still active !!! :(

As it says, you should try running 'apt-get -f install' so it can try to fix your dependency problems. That's usually enough to fix it.

One issue here is that you are trying to install a new package in Sarge. Sarge is Stable. That means, among other things, that if you try to add new packages from any source other than the Sarge repos, or backports.org, you are likely to break your system. It's well past time you moved to Etch instead.

What does

Code:

cat /etc/apt/preferences

produce?

As this is a Debian problem, I have moved it to the Debian forum.

cat /etc/apt/source.list

is it have problem ?
please help me my friends .
:((

preferences not existing is not a problem.

It looks like you started with unstable so you may want to stick with it.

In your sources.list move the line "deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free" to the top of the list and change testing to unstable.

Then "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"

My prediction: If you do that your system will die ... but that's OK. You need to start over and install Etch from the get-go, anyway.

Care to place a wager? :) I've seen Debian systems pull through worse, admittedly with a helping hand...

That's the key here. Helping hands are not close enough to the keyboard. I'd bet you a $10 donation to LQ, but I don't know how to verify the results. lol.
