I have a problem with brltty. The main problem is that it doesn't work. I just don't get anything on my braille display. I know the display is working because I can boot with a thumb drive and it works. I thought I'd try uninstalling brltty and reinstalling it but when I did that, it wanted to uninstall the mate desktop as well. In other words, if I type, "dpkg --purge brltty', it says it says that it can't do that because I'd have to uninstall ubuntu-mate-desktop first. If I ask it to show me the dependencies for brltty, ubuntu-mate-desktop is not listed. This is a fresh install of ubuntu vivid, 15.04. Is there a way to force dpkg to recalculate it's dependencies? It has to be that the dependency date is messed up. -- John Heim, [email protected], skype:john.g.heim
