Hi all

I can't get apache-dev installed as it needs libdb4.2-dev but libdb4.2-dev can't be installed. libdb4.2 is installed and up-to-date.

Here are the details. Help would be much appreciated.

$ sudo apt-get --no-act install apache-dev
Building dependency tree... 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 to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  apache-dev: Depends: libdb4.2-dev (>= 4.2.52) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Broken packages


$ sudo apt-get --no-act install libdb4.2-dev

libdb4.2 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 17 not upgraded.


Hence I'm stuck.
