So i decided to install backtrack 5 r2 to my hdd, But when i came to install the dhcp3 server i got this message. root@bt:~# apt-get install dhcp3-server -y Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: dhcp3-server: Depends: dhcp3-common (= 3.1.3-2ubuntu3.2) but 3.1.3-2ubuntu3.3 is to be installed E: Broken packages root@bt:~# im doing somthing wrong???????????

Mr-Protocol Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 apt-get install dhcp3-common try again? Errors are pretty straight forward, for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Updated by muts 2 months agoPriority changed from High to Low Actually, the problem is different here. Looks like you didn't update your sources list to include the updates repo: add: deb http://updates.repository.backtrack-linux.org main microverse non-free testing to your sources.list, then apt-get update and you should be good. According to muts, that's the fix. So I got nothing else to offer lol. Reboot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespiritbomber Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I had te same problem and got it fixed. First, get Synaptic an then find dhcp-common and force version. Downgrade it one version. After this you'll need to reinstall Wicd. After downgrading, you should be able to install dhcp-server. I'm using my phone now so if you need me to go into more detail, let me know and I'll reply when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whykickamoocow Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 How did you get your internet back after rolling back the dhcp3-server, i couldnt get back on the internet to download the programs i needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespiritbomber Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How did you get your internet back after rolling back the dhcp3-server, i couldnt get back on the internet to download the programs i needed. I had the same problem if I rebooted before I reinstalled Wicd but it worked fine if I was using an ethernet cable rather than the wireless card. Did you try that? You might have to look up how to manually start networking and I suppose it would work. Check the basic usage page on Backtrack's website. Here's the link.
