I ran smxi to install Google Earth for my iceape browser, in which Google Earth does not recognize Iceape as a compatible browser to work with. in the process of running smxi, I came across this error message...

package wicd-curses is not configureconfigured to write apport reports
configured to write apport reports
configured to write apport reports
configured to write apport reports
configured to write apport reports
E:/ Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

An error occured in dist-upgrade. The error is 100.

Then it allows me to do a few options, dist-upgrade -f ; continue; and a few others... and when I tried the dist-upgrade -f option, it keeps returning the same error... and now my antiX is a little bit different... menu has been changed, and some programs don't run exactly as they should, and Google Earth is still not installed, as far as I know.

Please help....

If you don't need wicd, remove it by doing in a terminal as root

apt-get purge wicd
apt-get autoremove

Then try smxi again
