I'll try to copy the error message later this evening as I am not near WiFi till then...

Here is the resulting message when I trry to install python mutagen

I think apt-get is trying to tell you something

Running "apt-get update" should fix that for you.

the name of the package is python2.5-mutagen. notice the -...

I ran update but I'm not sure it worked . I never got back to the prompt . Each solution presents new error messages with new solutions. Where was I?

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Try what apt-get is telling you... Or you can try installing python2.5-mutagen by getting the .deb directly, right here. In order to prevent those apt errors you may want to uninstall any un-needed apps and disable/remove any un-needed application catalogs (this can all be done from the application manager).

seems like there are 3 entries for chinook free and 2 for chinook non-free...
one only need one of each...

and that goffice error, i suspect there is abiword or gnumeric installed. quick guess is that a higher version of libart is installed then what goffice wants, but something else depends on that high version and therefor its left alone...

Okay, here's the latest attempt.

There were no listings in Application manager for Chinook free or libart so I was unable to delete any duplicates. I ran apt-get update and then ran apt-get -f install and it tells me to run apt-get update.
I appear to have reached a dead end loop.
I have given up on this before and I know I have it in me to give up again!!!

I went into applications catalogs and deleted duplicate entries, ran apt-get uupdate and apt-get -f install,

I am still miles away from actually installing the program.
