I suppose this is because I'm running a mix of testing/unstable.
Trying to install cupsys and I get an error with gs-esp package. So I
install and it still doesn't fix the problem. Trying to then install
cupsys I get:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
cupsys: Depends: gs-esp but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
Hum, but gs-esp is installed.
ii gs-esp 7.05.4-1 The Ghostscript Postscript interpreter -
ESP version
That's the version of gs-esp in testing. Cupsys in testing points to
that.
What I really need help with is understanding how to find out exactly
what's going on.
Looking at the cupsys package:
# apt-cache showpkg cupsys
Shows a Dependencies: section that for version 1.1.15-4 (the
testing version) that includes:
gs-esp (0 (null))
So I'm not sure what that means.
Clearly apt-get is seeing a problem. Sure would be nice if apt spelled it
out instead of just saying "it is not going to be installed".
How do I resolve this? No, what do I need to do to understand how to
resolve problems like this?
Thanks,
# apt-get install gs-esp
