You won't need any .deb files.

Are you trying to install MyContacts using the application manager or did you download the .deb file for it? The application manager is the recommended way because it will handle the dependencies automatically (including libqtm-contacts).

If you decide to install using apt-get, you will need to start the x-terminal and to become root type:

Code:

root

Note: before you can do that you need to make sure that you have installed the "rootsh" package using the application manager.

Then you should be ready to continue (from the x-terminal still as root):

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install libqtm-contacts
apt-get install mycontacts

EDIT: If you don't mind please post any other questions to the MyContacts thread directly so we don't add noise to this thread.


done all of this, how ever get the message " Package libqtm-contacts is not available, but is refered to by anther package. this may mean that the packae is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"

i get this when i run apt-get install libqtm-contacts
