atgreen1,

This appears to be the same problem that I saw in a different thread. If you will follow the instructions I gave close to the end of the thread it should fix your problem. If you are not using the intrepid repos then change the repo in the line that I gave to the appropriate repo, ie gutsy, hardy, or whatever. You will see what I mean when you look at my post.
