Hi all, I follow Emacs' master branch for my day-to-day use, so I need to build it manually for my daily workflow. Yesterday I did a fresh reinstall of Debian 10, after which I haven't been able to install build dependencies for emacs25 or emacs-gtk. The error is as follows:
,---- | Reading package lists... Done | Picking 'emacs' as source package instead of 'emacs25' | 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: | builddeps:emacs : Depends: libtiff-dev but it is not going to be installed | Depends: libgnutls28-dev but it is not going to be installed | Depends: libmagick++-6.q16-dev but it is not going to be installed | E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. `---- The output for emacs-gtk is also identical. My /etc looks like this: https://github.com/cadadr/configuration/tree/master/systems/alpha/etc When I investigate further, trying to "apt-get install" the packages with unmet dependencies, my observation is that installing these packages requires downgrading some dependencies. Is this a temporary problem, or does it have anything to do with my configuration? If it's possible, how can I fix this? I really need a build of Emacs ASAP, so I'm willing to force downgrade or upgrade any packages if they don't really pose a problem to the end user. Lastly, there was an error during installation yesterday, package installation was paused when I returned to my computer, so I restarted the installation process. It downloaded one more package and installed it, and the rest was fine. Could that have anything to do with the present situation? Thanks in advance, -gk. -- İ.
