Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libgtk2.0-dev

I am trying to build the program "nitrogen" from source, for use with
Openbox. During ./configure, it gives an error indicating it needs
libgtk2.0-dev. I have posted a thread on ubuntuforums.org to no avail of
solution (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3436462). Here's what
I'm getting:

bobby:~$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev 
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.

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 resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.12) but it is not going to be 
installed
                 Depends: libcairo2-dev (>= 1.2.0) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Broken packages
bobby:~$ 
------------------------------------

Now if I do apt-get install libcairo2-dev, I get this:

bobby:~$ sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done

I apologize in advance as I'm a total newbie to this site and bug
process, so If there is a solution that my googling didn't provide that
would be great.
