Package: libffi2-dev Version: 1:3.2.3-0pre3 Severity: important Hi there.
SableVM depends on the libffi2 package, and more specifically, build-depends on libffi2-dev. It seems the latest GCC upgrade broke libffi2-dev, as can be seen below: $ apt-get install libffi2-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... 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. 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: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libffi2-dev: Depends: LIBC_DEV but it is not installable E: Sorry, broken packages Thanks for fixing the problem.
