--- Begin Message ---Package: binutils-gold Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, The binutils-gold package in the package archives is too old. It cannot be installed, because it depends on binutils being installed in the same version. binutils: Installed: 2.23.52.20130727-1 Candidate: 2.23.52.20130727-1 binutils-gold: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.23.52.20130620-1 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? / What was the outcome of this action? $ apt-get install binutils-gold 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: binutils-gold : Depends: binutils (= 2.23.52.20130620-1) but 2.23.52.20130727-1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. * What outcome did you expect instead? binutils-gold being available in version 2.23.52.20130727-1 in the package archives, so it installs without problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
