Did that Andrei, updated apt-get, apt-get now gives a reason. Depends on 2 more packages, but adding them to the apt-get install line gets this: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libalien-wxwidgets-perl : Depends: libwxgtk3.0-dev (< 3.0.3~) but 3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is to be installed Depends: libwxgtk-media3.0-dev (< 3.0.3~) but 3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I'm about out of patience for the day. I have been screwing with this since about 5AM, and its now 12:45 local. And I am damned tired of apt-gets inability to name the package thats breaking it.
