It's probably a total hack and I don't recommend it to anyone, but what I finally ended up doing was just installing the updated i386 stardict version 3.0.0-3 ignoring the two unmet dependencies like I described in the command above. This fixes stardict but then apt reports unmet dependencies for two packages each time you run it as I also reported above.
To fix apt so it stops unnecessarily detecting these unmet dependencies, I manually edited /var/lib/dpkg/status to change the dependencies for stardict so that it doesn't depend on the newer versions for these two packages. :) haha. Both stardict and apt are ok on my system. As far as apt is concerned, it doesn't even know stardict depends on newer versions of those two packages so it continues to run fine. And stardict appears to work with the old versions. Again, I am not sure if this is a "proper" fix or not. At best it's just a temporary solution until someone backports stardict into the repos. -- Uable to put my mouse on the floating windows in Stardic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
