The Joy of Dependencies

Linux has a brain-dead way of handling new applications. They all need to be installed from "repositories" on the internet. Since linpus is basically Fedora 8, and Fedora recently changed the way it signs its packages out of sheer paranoia, you need to run a command to fix your dependencies. In addition, since the authors of linpus are at heart morons, you also need to fix the dogs dinner they made of their operating system.

Do everything here as soon as possible.
