Thank you for your reply.

It is just when I am installing applications from the command line that it
tells me that there are dependancies but if the application gets installed
from the gui from the add applications section then that works. I wanted
to install some applications for example the scanning software for my
scanner needed glibc installed so I had to install that first then the
software.
I wanted to install Limewire so I had to install java manually.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks again.
