#%$@&@$%#& dependencies <snarl, mutter ...>

[Andrew Hodel]

Easy,

The reason is probably because you are trying to install a i386 rpm, and =
you=20
are on ppc.  If it is not that, go to rpmfind.net and search for those=20
dependencies, when you find them, make sure and get the ppc version.

You can also have apt do the deps for you.  First do this:

apt-get update

then:

apt-get install opera

See what you get, that should work.
