Can someone give me an overview of the current state of gnome libraries and applications in the unstable distribution? I would like to try our gnumeric. If I try to install it with apt I get dependency problems [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-get install gnumeric Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...ok The following NEW packages will be installed: gnumeric 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: gnumeric: Depends:libglib1.1 Depends:libgnome0 Depends:libgtk1.1 Depends:giflib3g [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg -l 'libglib1.1*' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ pn libglib1.1 <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1-dev <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.10-d <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.10-d <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.11 <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.11-d <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.11-d <none> (no description available) ri libglib1.1.12 1.1.12-1 Developers' release of the GLib library of C pn libglib1.1.12-d <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.12-d <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.13-d <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.13-d <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.14-d <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.14-d <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.5 <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.5-db <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.5-de <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.6 <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.6-db <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.6-de <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.7-db <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.7-de <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.8-db <none> (no description available) un libglib1.1.8-de <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.9 <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.9-db <none> (no description available) pn libglib1.1.9-de <none> (no description available)
Here I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how to get the complete name of a package that has not been installed. It appears that packages like libglib1.1.14-dev should be available but I can't get information on them. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg --print-avail 'libglib1.1.14-dev' Package `libglib1.1.14-dev' is not available. I realize that some of these packages are development snapshots. If the projected release time is "soon", I suppose I can wait (lots of Real Work^tm to do anyway).
