Thanks for the tip - it doesn't actually do it, like you say, but sadly
apt-get -f install doesn't fix it either.

I have tried removing the packages I initially installed but apt-get won't
let me do that! - nor will it let me install anything else.

So I'm a bit stuck now. For example:

[root@mushroom root]# apt-get -f remove muse

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  midishare-kernel-2.4.20-24.1.caps.rh90.ccrma: Depends:
kernel-version-i686 (=
2.4.20-24.1.caps.rh90.ccrma)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
[root@mushroom root]# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  kernel#2.4.20-24.1.caps.rh90.ccrma
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  kernel#2.4.20-24.1.caps.rh90.ccrma
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 removed and 50 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/14.0MB of archives.
After unpacking 32.2MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

Any ideas?
