Package: libxml2-dev
Version: 2.6.16-7
I've been trying to install libxml2-dev on sarge using apt-get as follows
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
I get the following as output
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.16-7) but 2.6.20-1 is to be
installed
E: Broken Packages
My sources.list looks like this
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sarge main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
Before trying the apt-get command above I did an apt-get update, apt-get
upgrade
apt-config dump gives

... which means you have installed version 2.6.20 by hand, not from
sarge. Sarge version is 2.6.16-7. So if you try to install libxml2-dev
from sarge, you'll get version 2.6.16-7. You need to either downgrade
your libxml2 or find the corresponding 2.6.20-1 libxml2-dev (using
snapshot.debian.net, possibly).
Anyways, this is not a bug, so I'm closing this report.
Cheers
Mike
