I'm really new to Ubuntu, and to linux. I've run across a situation that is not a problem yet, but will shortly become one (i think.) In installing one of many things that I have installed in the last week to try and get everything I need up and running on Ubuntu (Dapper) I have at some point broken some packages. G++ (all versiond through G++4) will not install in synaptic. They should already be on the system, however, at some point, while trying to get transcode/ dvd::rip to work properly, they were removed. One of the dependencies is libc6-dev (if I remeber correctly.) The G++ packages will be important for all sorts of thing I'm assuming...
I tried fixing my broken packages, and it fixed 2 of them. However still cant re-install G++
Also, I was wandering if this could have to do with a libc6 backport problem?
I think my problem may be related to dvd decription codecs, because my mencoder is no longer functioning properly.
I'll try to post more technical information tonight from home where I have my terminal infront of me.
Sorry for rambling on, I'm really new at this.
