Hi All I tried to install DNS on my Ubuntu Machine. It i Ubuntu 6.06. I followed the link http://howtoforge.com/linux_bind9_and_caching_nameserver when i do apt-get install bind* it is giving the following error : Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: bind9: Conflicts: bind but 1:8.4.6-1 is to be installed giflib-bin: Conflicts: giflib-bin Conflicts: libungif-bin libadabindx-dev: Depends: xlibs-static-pic but it is not installable libbind-dev: Conflicts: bind-dev but 1:8.4.6-1 is to be installed libungif-bin: Conflicts: giflib-bin mew-beta-bin: Conflicts: mew-bin but 1:4.2-1 is to be installed mew-bin: Conflicts: mew-beta-bin but 4.2.52-1 is to be installed E: Broken packages What could be wrong with my installation ? Please do help Looking forward to hear from you Thanks and Regards Nidhin Tomson
Please run Code: apt-get update and try again. If that doesn't help - what's in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

Maybe the dapper-backports repos are the problem. Please comment them out, run Code: apt-get update and try again.
