Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install
Should probably fix Synaptic/APT.

Run that command in a terminal window.

Can you post the exact error message you get when using APT/Synaptic?

It looks like you got some dependency issues. Try to comment out the repo in sources.list and run:

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude update
By the looks of it, it is Compiz stuff that no longer is needed, while I have never used AWN, I am not sure how those repos work, but I thought Compiz was essential for AWN to work?
And for the compiling issues you had, try to install build-essentials:

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install build-essentials
And try ./configure again.
