    Status: Answered => Open

treeclimber is still having a problem:
I did as you told me.  I got the same results, only more detail.  See below:
     :~$ sudo apt-get install -f
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libwmf-bin dpkg-dev imagemagick-doc imagemagick
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libnspr4-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libnspr4-dev
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  adobe-flashplugin: Depends: libnspr4-dev but it is not going to be installed
  kompozer-dev: Depends: kompozer (>= 1:0.7.10-0ubuntu6) but it is not going to be installed
  libnss3-dev: Depends: libnspr4-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So now what do I do?
