Re: [Ekiga-list] destructive Ekiga Win-XP un-install

[Ted Clayton <tclayton olypen com>]

Eugene, I opened Synaptic Package Manager on Ubuntu, and found "snoopy" offered there.

However, when I attempted to mark the package for installation, this error dialog was issued:

quote:

Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade.

The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enable in the preferences.

snoopy:
 Depends: ld.so.preload-manager (>=0.1) but it is not installable

:end quote

Everyone, Stan has a website to which he can upload the Ekiga Windows install executable that he downloaded from the project website this morning ... if it was not deleted during the ensuing disruption.  He could then give us a URL and we can use the file he used, for investigation.

Any suggestions to resolve the issue preventing me from installing snoopy?  And, is there a Windows analog of this tool, which Stan can install on his XP box?

Thanks!

Ted
