This is a potato system kept up to date with the most recent additions to proposed-updates, and security.
In an effort to solve a problem I have with Sawmill menus, I tried to install the package libgtk1.2-dev, but got the response below: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root# apt-get install libgtk1.2-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: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtk1.2-dev: Depends: libgtk1.2 (= 1.2.7-1) but 1.2.8-1 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages root# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the most recent version of libgtk1.2: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root# apt-get install libgtk1.2 Reading Package Lists...
