Spring RTS Engine

Because my packet manager wants to force me to do a partial distribution upgrade...

Quite confusing

It might be because the package name for springlobby changed from spring-lobby-springlobby to springlobby. Try selecting springlobby and then upgrading.

It works, thanks!!!

An alternative is to do "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" in the console. I am sure Synaptic has an equivalent as well, but I don't use it, so I dont know what.

Det,
I ran the command you gave me in terminal- ran through a long list of files without giving any errors...

Now spring has apparently been uninstalled, and I cannot install it again through synaptic. it simply gives me an error "unresolvable dependencies" for everything :S

I could use some help as I am new to Linux....

sudo aptitude install spring

Try to run that in terminal ?

Hi Det,
tried that but got a lot of messages about broken packages and "this package is not installable"....

this is the result of running the "sudo aptitude install spring" command...

You are using the Intrepid repo in Hardy.

I am using interpid- I have now fixed problem by using the synaptic manager to completely remove the libboost libraries, it then allowed me to reinstall everything.

Does this mean that CA from the ca-installer package is now legal to use (without owning TA)?

ubuntu downloads codecs, if you open a file where they don't deliver it in the standard distro.

what about downloading with torrent?

No it contains OTA content as far as i know.

Also @YokoZar any chance of P.U.R.E .deb file? Since it has come along way.

That's because the codecs are only illegal in the US.

Just use springlobby's built in torrent client to get the mod, yeah.

can not start the springlobby with jaunty. i also changed to the new path and reinstalled but it does not run.
