    Question AWN and applet issue....

    I installed AWN a while back. Didn't use it for several months and started using it again. TWO issues

    1)I added the below to the /etc/apt/sources.list
    #FILE: /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu lucid main

    then, in the terminal
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install awn-core-applets-bzr

    unfortunately it gave me this message:
    Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-a...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

    2)While investigating this problem, i ran into a topic by reacocard on how to install the applets in this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762363
    The terminal instruction was:

    $sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr awn-manager-bzr

    The weird thing is that software centre says that AWN is installed but synaptic shows that the 3 packages above is NOT installed (white box).

    Can someone help me out?

    I think there are some unmet dependencies. To fix these type in terminal

    sudo apt-get install -f

    Also check for any broken packages in synaptic by using "Broken" filter.

    How can i tell if they are broken packages? I did the filter option and there's a list of packages shown that are and are not installed in the right window...

    Go to Synaptic Package Manager >>> Custom Filters >>> Broken and see if any packages are listed there. Alternatively try reconfiguring dpkg in terminal

    sudo dpkg --configure -a

    Oh, haha i see it. Ok that was simple.
    And no I don't have any broken packages.
    Maybe I should uninstall and reinstall again?
