i've just had a problem i tried installing rockbox and it's saying i have unmet dependencies and hildon desktop is showing and that i should try apt-get -f install to correct it.
I've looked back through the rockbox thread and posted the problem there but no one seems to have encountered that problem.
i'm wondering if what i entered this afternoon(below) has caused a problem?

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mp-fremantle-community-pr: Depends: hildon-desktop (>= 1:2.2.142-13) but 1:2.2.140-1+0m5 is to be installed
status-area-orientationlock-applet: Depends: hildon-desktop (>= 1:2.2.142-11) but 1:2.2.140-1+0m5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

right did the apt-get and reinstalled hildon-desktop, installed rockbox(any installation brought up the unmet dependencies) re-installed hildon protrait desktop.
Now i guess i'm stil stuck with apt-get upgrade problem?

Hi all!

Does somebody have latest version of hildon-desktop binary (from gitorious sources)? I'm not skilled to compile it by my own so before the time of next cssu came, maybe someone could share .deb file of the lates code.

corduroysack you have CSSU i think
then install the hildon-desktop from 1st post

yes karam i have cssu and i've installed hd_18_07_2011 should it be hildon-desktop_2.2.140-1+0m5_armel?
i thought it was a updated version to hildon-desktop_2.2.140-1+0m5_armel.

now as the topic has been in discussion i should put my question forward :P

how to check the H.D version currently installed ?

now i'm confused i'm using hd_18_07_2011 i

i've just looked @ post 1 and thats what it says to use

to check

dpkg -l hildon-desktop

it should say the version is
1:2.2.142-13

cheers karam i ran that and got this
$ sudo gainroot
