missing dependancies 11.04 desktop via USB boot

Hi Folks,

Im using 11.04 via a USB stick. (Used pendrivelinux installer with 11.04-desktop iso).

I've added the jcfp repo OK, but when I try to install via CLI or Ubuntu software center it fails with unmet dependencies:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sabnzbdplus : Depends: python-feedparser but it is not installable
Recommends: python-yenc (>= 0.3) but it is not installable
Recommends: par2 (>= 0.4) but it is not installable
Recommends: unrar (>= 3.8.0) but it is not installable or
rar (>= 3.8.0) but it is not installable
Recommends: sabnzbdplus-theme-smpl but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I have tried to download the dependencies 1 by 1, but I cannot find the above mentioned python-feedparser and I have tried to compile yenc and it fails.

Does anyone have an all in one builder that will work? Is it because I am booting from USB (it shouldn't be?)

What can be done to resolve this? Is there another repo to find the missing dependencies?

Thanks for all your help

Repo contains only sabnzbdplus, nothing else. All other stuff (depencies and their subsequent deps, etc.) is assumed to be available from the regular (Ubuntu) repositories. While you're always welcome to use the repo, you'll have to figure out yourself how 'pendrivelinux' works in this respect, because I cannot possibly track the habits and quircks of every derivative distribution or alternative install method out there. Do they piggyback on regular Ubuntu or Debian repositories? If so, are those enabled?

Do you have universe and multiverse enabled as repositories? You can do it via the Software Center.
