openni_kinect installation issues with configuration

edit

Hi, I have ubuntu 10.10. I am encountering the following errors when i try to install openni-kinect. It says that

ros-diamondback-openni-kinect is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
4 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.

When say yes to this. I get the below error. I see that openni-dev, nite-dev, ps-engine and ros-diamondback-openni-kinect are depended on each other. I followed the instructions in http://www.ros.org/wiki/openni_kinect which says New in diamond pack. So i am not sure if the configurations are to be done in packages or in my end. Can somebody tell me how to configure (i see this is the only problem) them so as to complete my installation. Thanks in advance.
