I believe I understand why this is happening: Lets say for an example that U are using XGL from the QUINNS' repo! Such as I was. And so by installing XGL from it, U are upgrading a lot of other libraries, that your system depends on them. All is is good until some packages or applications won't work with newer libraries, like GNOME-CORE-DEVEL. These packages require the older LIBRARIES to work but XGL requires the new ones!
See the dillema? ################## Can anyone confirm/deny this? Cos I've never quite understood why is it a problem installing newer LIBS and adding other REPOS until this explanation came into my mind? Well if this explanation is true than am gonna post it on UBUNTUFORUMS.ORG since am sure that a lot of fellow UBUNTUERs have been wondering the same thing. -- Unable to apt-get 'gnome-core-devel' https://launchpad.net/bugs/52344 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
