** Description changed:
In current dapper, it appears that a new freetype family was built for
- security reasons, but the corresponding -dev package was not pushed, so
- that libfreetype6-dev is not currently installable. Apt's error message
- and sources.list attached.
-
- (This appears to be a common problem, but libfreetype6 is the first
- thing I was able to track down. Tangentially, if anyone reading this bug
- knows of the bug that larts apt/synaptic for giving a completely useless
- error message when something way down the dependency chain fails, feel
- free to point it out to me so I can sign on :)
+ security reasons, but the dependencies were not fixed, so that
+ libfreetype6-dev is not currently installable. Apt's error message and
+ sources.list attached.
(Also tangentially, apologies if this is filed in the wrong place; I
can't seem to figure out how to file this specifically against Dapper.)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/cvs/xournal$ sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
Reading package lists... Done
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:
libfreetype6-dev: Depends: libfreetype6 (= 2.1.10-1ubuntu2) but
2.1.10-1ubuntu2.2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
