make sure you don't have the graphical package manager open. That can really screw up how how apt works from the command line.

thank's aysiu!
that seems to have fixed it all right up!

and i havent even bothered with the GUI yet
terminal seems much easier

The GUI's not so bad.
It's easier to help people with terminal commands, but Synaptic Package Manager is a wonderful thing.
