noted. apprecited if someone could share what make it happen. i just want to understand the cause of the issue with standard manufacturing package installed by Hewlett Packard. i would like to address this to HP for them to improve their product line. :-)

Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#8

There are several possibilities what might have gone wrong leading to that 'broken dependency' situation. I am not sure if HP is to blame. It looks as if you had some kind of network hickup, maybe that was the root cause.
