[gobolinux-users] Package Manager

Hi,

I am still having big problems with updating programs!

I am trying to upgrade to Firefox 2 and the problems I have encountered 
so far are:

1) Manager is NOT resolving dependencies Firefox 2 has about 10 
dependancy updates that need to be done and although I have ticked the 
boxes to queue dependancies and to force updates this is not happening!

2) InstallPackage IS resolving dependencies and generating the list and 
offering an option to install all (ia) this is not happening as only the 
first (FontConfig) was installed before I was returned to a prompt!

3) I started to install the dependencies individually and hit a wall at 
GCC 4.1.2 which failed verification! (Why does a binary package like 
Firefox NEED GCC?)

So I am stuck!!!

The dependency list in the info box in Manager is colour coded! What do 
these colours mean  as I can find no help??

I assumed a red version means it is needed! However the colours don't 
change after the required dependancy is installed??

The version is also displayed in blue and some program names are also in 
red???

Anyone know some answers??

Thanks
