Ubuntu

can not install Gnome-panel

Asked by bernddude

in Karmic Koala, when using apt-get or synaptic, the installation of Gnome-panel fails with a cyclic dependency.
it will fail with libecal1.2-7 dependency error, but libecal1.2-7 will fail on a further dependency error and so on
finally leading into a cyclic removal of libecal1.2-7 by one of the dependencies by Gnome-control-center

If I understand correctly you have to install both dependencies at the same time

sudo apt-get dependecy1 dependency2

Of course you will replace dependecy1 dependency2 with real package names.

sudo apt-get install dependecy1 dependency2
