Pls disregard my previous msg. Gmail on my Android showed Nimit's post from 2/18 when I opened the thread and I thought it was in response to my post from earlier today. Anyways... Here's what happened when I uninstalled gtg, autoremoved python-liblarch and then installed gtg. As you can see, python-liblarch does get installed when gtg is installed. ----- $ sudo apt-get purge gtg Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
