Each time I use apt-get install I get an error regarding to gaim. I just
installed MindTerm and got this error (I guess the mindterm installation
worked fine):

johs@ubuntu:~ $ sudo apt-get install mindterm

How do I fix this gaim issue?

try:
# apt-get install -a

and if that does'n work
# mkdir /usr/share/doc/gaim
and try
# apt-get install -a
again

I get this error (seems that option -a is not recognized)


johs@ubuntu:~ $ sudo apt-get install -a
E: Command line option 'a' [from -a] is not known.
johs@ubuntu:~ $ sudo mkdir /usr/share/doc/gaim
johs@ubuntu:~ $ sudo apt-get install -a
E: Command line option 'a' [from -a] is not known.

oeps, my fault, I was a bit in a hurry, it should be apt-get -f
install, f comes from --fix-broken.
