Same here.  I would appreciate it if someone could be as kind as to point to a resource or post a step-by-step about installing Stardict.
I've spent several hours looking up this information on the web, but could not install Stardict yet.
Thank you in advance!

when I try that command I get

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  stardict: Depends: stardict-common (= 2.4.8-1) but 2.4.8-1asus3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Neil and Albkwan,
Thanks for your replies (great forum!).  I followed your directions, but am still unable to install. 
I get this:
/home/user> sudo apt-get install stardict
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package stardict is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package stardict has no installation candidate

And this:
/home/user> sudo apt-get install stardict-gtk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package stardict-gtk

Any further help will be very much appreciated.

Hello,
I've done both steps following the wiki instructions.
Then run the command again, but still no luck:
eeepc-imwinkelr:/root> sudo apt-get install stardict-gtk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

W: Couldn't stat source package list ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org stable/contrib Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_contrib_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Couldn't find package stardict-gtk

After this, I run:
apt-get update again
and then once again:
sudo apt-get install stardict-gtk, getting the same message as above.
Any suggestions?  Thanks a lot!

I don't have my eeepc with me right now. But as far as I remember, you need to install stardict-gtk instead of stardict.

It works!  Hooray! Thank you!

Having installed stardict successfully thanks to this amazing forum, I could do with some help on adding dictionaries to stardict! I downloaded one of the dictionaries to my documents, and wanted to move it to the /usr/share/stardict/dic folder so that stardict could use it; although whenever I try to I'm told that i don't have permission. I tried going to the folder itself and changing the permissions, but apparently i "do not own the folder"; a bit annoying after paying £300 for the eee!

You need administrator right to do this.

You can either do it on the command line by prefix every command with "sudo " or you can open a Root File Manager that gives you administrator right to do anything. But be careful using this.

To open a "Root File Manager", open a terminal and type:

sudo XandrosFileManager

You may want to set up a desktop icon for this.
