thanks for the detailed info.
is: sudo dpkg -i Pd-0.42.5-extended-20100519-ubuntu-karmic-i386.deb
this package is fine; you should be able to install both puredata and pd-extended side-by-side (but read on)
and if i try to install them (pd and pd-extended) together or pd afterwords than....:
sudo apt-get install puredata [sudo] password for christian: Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut
Lese Status-Informationen ein... Fertig Die folgenden zusätzlichen Pakete werden installiert: gem
that's the main culprit: "puredata" recommends to install "gem", whereas "pd-extended" conflicts with "gem" (nowadays for no apparant reason)
do i have to install extended otherwise? and if yes how?
until hans fixes the conflicts, you could simply do as follows:
% dpkg -i Pd-extended...deb % aptitude install -R puredata
or if you insist in using apt-get
% apt-get install --no-install-recommends puredata
i usually recommend aptitude; it is compatible with apt-get in most situations, but has better conflict-resolving features and a nice ncurses gui; this is very handy for manual conflict resolving; you would have seen immediately why pd-extended gets uninstalled...
that's it.
