Hi
Thank you for answering.

I tried "apt-get -f install" but this command removes TheIDE if it's installed.

Well, it tries to solve the dependency problems in the simplest way possible. I guess it figured out that removing theide is the easiest solution this time Smile

It can be sometimes a stupid tool...

But let's try to install from the PPA.

I dont know why but PPA not seems to work with Backtrack. For example: I've used "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dolik-rce/upp" but the Terminal output says, that this command doesn't exist.

It is possible to make this work even without this command, although it requires slightly more work. In the guide, there is a grayed paragraph that explains how to install on older versions of ubuntu. Please try following the instruction there, they should perfectly replace the missing add-apt-repository command. Since you say that Backtrack is based on Lucid Lynx, the two lines that should go to your /etc/apt/sources.list should be:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dolik-rce/upp/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/dolik-rce/upp/ubuntu lucid main

If you get errors when issuing the "apt-key" command, you don't have to stop. It should work even without it, but it would warn you at each upgrade that the packages are not trusted since their signatures couldn't be checked.

I hope this will work, but it actually depends on how much Backtrack differs from Ubuntu, so I can't tell for sure.
