Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
svgatextmode: Depends: console-tools but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages
# apt-get install console-tools
Package console-tools has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
However the following packages replace it:
console-common
E: Package console-tools has no installation candidate
For some reason it's not in testing at the moment (console-common
actually just replaces some old versions of console-tools):
console-tools | 1:0.2.3-10.3 |stable | alpha, arm, i386, m68k,
powerpc, sparc, source
console-tools | 1:0.2.3-16 | unstable | ia64
console-tools | 1:0.2.3-21 | unstable | mips
console-tools | 1:0.2.3-22 | unstable | alpha, arm, i386, m68k,
powerpc, sparc, source
There isn't anything the maintainer can do about this except wait for a
few days and see what the testing scripts do, so I'd say there isn't
much point in filing a bug report. You could try grabbing it from
unstable if it's urgent.
