apt-get does not install dependencies

Solution 1:

Install aptitude using:

sudo apt-get install aptitude

Then do:

sudo aptitude install libgnutls26

Aptitude will show the problems and propose a solution.

The first proposed solution will be to keep everything as-is. Answer 'n' to that question.

The next proposed solution will be to downgrade all of the dependencies that are currently too new. Answer Y to that.

Then, try installing libgnutls26 again.

Solution 2:

Not sure if there is conflicting dependencies already installed, but go to the terminal and type sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade

Tell me what message (if any you get like a 'warning...' or 'error..') you get. Also if you are trying to install GnuTLS go to synaptic package manager in your system tools menu, and do a search for it. When you find it right click and select install, and it will bring up the dependencies you need and install them as well.
