Ok, sorry. To my understanding, a 'broken package' is an installed package with broken dependencies. What was your 'broken package'? Did you someway force the GIMX installation?

Nope - Downloaded and tried to install right away - but got the dependency error - then i tried downloading another version - same problem :S

Didn't stop complaining about Dependency till I fixed the package...

Might be a bad karma I'm carring, but all's good, it works now :)
Just cant understand it - If the package was broken to begin with more would have noticed ;)

P.s when I did it over with 64bit version of Ubuntu error didn't occour :)
Got a Envy 17 - might just be "IT" playing tricks on me ;)


P.P.S

The broken package was 'sixemu_0.23-1_i386.deb' & 'sixemu_0.23a-1_i386.deb' (sixaxis-emulator i386).

A broken package is an installed package. There's no way the sixemu packages are broken if they are not installed.

My guess is, synaptic had a problem to reload the package list after you added the universe repository. And the procedure to fix broken packages just performed another reload, but a successful one.

Sound's reasonable :)

Just wondering - Synaptic was installet with Universe repository enabled, so a reload shouldn't be necessary?
All in all, before the fix of package it didn't work, and after it did :)

As my nick gives away, I'm very inexperienced with linux ;)
