I believe I have fixed the problem--why don&#39;t you give it a try and see
if it works properly on your end as well. :-)<br>

yeah, it&#39;s a custom i386 kernel.  If you need any help with fixing
this, let me know what I can do.

Thanks a lot!

You&#39;re right!  Are you running an i386 kernel?  For some reason my
amd64
    <br>
system shows the correct -kde3 dependencies, while my i386 system shows
    <br>
the same incorrect dependencies as yours.
    <br>
    <br>
I&#39;ll add this info to the bug report so I don&#39;t forget...

thanks for your response, and I&#39;m sorry I didn&#39;t know there was a bug
      <br>
filed.
      <br>
If I try and install emerald-kde3 I get the following dependencies:
      <br>
compiz-core
      <br>
compiz-plugins
      <br>
compiz-wrapper
      <br>
libdecoration0
      <br>
libemeraldengine0-kde3
      <br>
      <br>
note that there is only one -kde3... the installation then fails
because:
      <br>
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/compiz-core_1%3a0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1_i386.deb:
      <br>
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/compiz.1.gz&#39;, which is also in
      <br>
package compiz-core-kde3
      <br>
      <br>
I am pretty sure I have installed all the necessary packages, and
      <br>
believe that the problem is the non-kde3 dependencies.
      <br>
      <br>
Thanks a lot!

        <br>
At the moment, -kde3 compiz and emerald cannot be installed
        <br>
simultaneously with non-kde3 compiz and emerald due to bug 57
        <br>
(<a href="http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=57" target="_blank">http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=57</a>).  That bug is

next on my list of problems to deal with.

again.  It used to work on 8.04, but seems to be broken now.  If I

install only compiz stuff with -kde3, I can use only the sluggish gtk

dependencies.  This of course does not install cleanly because it

says &quot;already in package XY.&quot;  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
