    I think you are installing something that is causing a conflict too. You will have to try again and slowly try to figure out which package install is causing it, one at a time, and let us know.

    [SOLVED] Re: cookie woe's

    You want bleachbit:

    sudo apt-get install bleachbit
    gksu bleachbit
