I cannot install a gtypist because it says dependency is not satisfiable.
 

i am working on ubuntu 11.04 and i am getting a problem while installing gtypist from terminal and even from ubuntu software center. the file is .tar.gz and another is .deb
from terminal i get the reply as "unable to locate package".
even if i uncompress it and then install, it says "dependency is not satisfiable".

Why not use the Ubuntu package ?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gtypist

http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/gtypist


.

That's not helping and now it's saying "Unmet dependencies"

Try running the program from a terminal. That should throw an error message listing missing dependencies.

Note that this issue may cascade; satisfying one dependency may result in identifying others before the program is happy.

There can actually only be one reason, I think, that the command
"sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gtypist" isn't working:
'An /etc/apt/sources.list' with "something" added.

Please show the reply from the command : cat /etc/apt/sources.list


P.S. : gtypist dependencies are : 1) libncurses5 ( Always installed )
2) fortune-mod (+ librecode0 ).


.

Do I need fortune-mod & librecode0 seperately ?
because while installing fortune-mod, terminal says "Dependency is not satisfiable".

Something is wrong with your "sources.list",
when you can't install a simple application with apt*

Please show the reply from the command : cat /etc/apt/sources.list


If you insist installing things manually :
1) librecode0 http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/librecode0
2) fortune-mod http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/fortune-mod
3) gtypist
