Asked by zerker

ok right now im completely new to this buy lately ive been trying to download a few things for my own personal use...whenever i type this in sudo apt-get install subversion i get a thing that says thiss...sudo apt-get install subversion
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
subversion is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libgda3-common phonon libqt4-webkit libgda3-bin libgda3-3 libgdl-1-0
  libgdl-1-common
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

1) You have the most recent version of Subvesion.

2) Open a Terminal and input: sudo apt-get autoremove

     The autoremove option will get rid of the things you 'no longer required' ... just to make sure you understand, you have the packages you were trying to get already installed somewhere. Wondering as I look at your last response, did you really type it as 'audo apt-get autoremove'? It is supposed to be "sudo ...", which indicates to linux you want to do something with 'super-user' privileges. That would explain why you are getting the "Permission denied". Use "sudo apt-get autoremove" and it will prompt you for a password; use your own password.

...also you can only have one "package manager" open at a time. If you have e.g. Synaptic Package Manager open and try to use apt-get from the terminal it will complain...

You might find it useful to run "Fix Broken Packages" from somewhere, there's quite a few places, here's one
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How%20to%20fix%20broken%20packages

That should fix all those pesky problems. If you have a fresh (ish) new install of Ubuntu then it's usually worth running through all the steps in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
I tend to keep the non-free components but hope to go completely OpenSource one day when i know enough to do that. It hasn't cost me anything so far ;)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
