Summary:  packages not installing

Original Submission:  I'm trying to get eclipse to install. I've set the 
sources.list see below. The first time I ran synaptic it happily downloaded 
everything it needed but didn't install apparently. No error message no hint of 
a problem. Now, when I double click on the eclipse platform synaptic thinks 
about it for a second but no errors in the terminal and no Eclipse...i'm in the 
dark here...



here's the sources list

rpm ftp://us.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 1.5/generic 
freerpm-src ftp://us.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 
1.5/generic

free non-free

this is probably caused by the following situation. if you try to install 
something the internal problem resolver tries to satisfy every dependency. if 
this fails it cleans up so that no broken packages will be generated. this 
might mean that it just undoes the request to install elcipse. you may check 
the "what it would depend on" tab und "depenedencies" and see if you find the 
problem there. we know that this resolving strategie isn't optiomal, we may 
just throw a error in the future to tell the user what's going on.
