I made a fresh install of Hardy: the problem seems to be definitively fixed<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 8:59 PM, songstruck &lt;<a href="mailto:fininfo@mindspring.com">fininfo@mindspring.com</a>&gt; wrote:<br>

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop<br>
<br>
The install failed, generating the slocate error on this page. I tried the workaround:<br>
sudo dpkg --ignore-depends slocate --remove slocate &amp;&amp; sudo aptitude install slocate<br>
<br>
but that also failed. In any case, how does it make sense to --remove<br>
slocate when slocate won&#39;t install?<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve tried the usual sudo apt-get install -f, but can&#39;t get past this<br>
slocate problem.<br>
<br>
Any new suggestions? Thanks.<br>
