package and dependency problem

[Larz]

Binary package hint: synaptic

Ubuntu 7.10 (gusty)
Kernel Linux 2.6.22-14-generic
Gnome 2.20.0

synaptic 0.60 ubuntu5

                  I,ve tried many different ways to try to fix these problems with no luck. I'm still quite a newbie with Linux OSs, for I have only been using them (different distros)for a few years. I have tried marking for reinstall, but it not working. Don't know if I should attempt a complete removal of the following packs or not, then attempt reinstall. If I didn't have dial up I would just reinstall the OS or upgrade to 8.04LTS. Any help is welcome. Thanks: )

   Problem fixed. It was an upgrade from feisty to gusty.
***
   Fixed by manually editing the download sources = from feisty 2 gusty.
 Then marked all upgrades in the synaptic package manager. All updates complete.
