Subject: libogre: fails to install because of Package dependency
Package: libogre
Version: libogre-dev
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I am unable to install ogre on my machine(debian unstable) because i
am getting a package
dependency issue.It appears that the present version of libogre-dev
depends on an onl version of libopenexr-dev. This package cannot be
downgraded because almost all the kde applications depend on it.

When i perform an apt-get install libogre-dev i get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libogre-dev: Depends: libogre5 (= 1.0.5-1) but it is not going to be
  installed
  Depends: libopenexr-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Also, when i do a complete install of all the ogre files including
dependencies saying:

apt-get install libogre-dev libcegui-mk2-dev libcegui-mk2-doc ogre-doc
ogre-tools ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager  blender-ogrexml

  ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager: Depends: libdevil1 but it is not
  installable
   Depends: libogre5 but it is not going to be installed
   ogre-tools: Depends: libogre5 but it is not going to be installed

Also, creating a highlevel virtual package which installs ogre
completely will be much better than the present system because there are
lots of variations of what needs to be installed on the ogre forums. I
have posted this on the forum but not much attention has been given to
the issue.
