I'm trying to install the newest avidemux (2.0.20) on my Testing system.
Since Christian Marillat hasn't built a .deb of it, I have to build it.
Okay, download the tar file, unarchive, run
"./configure".
It wants libgtk2-dev.
Fair enough.
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
Can't be installed because it depends on libpango1.0-dev, which isn't going
to be installed. I wonder why not, so I
apt-get install libpango1.0-dev
Can't be installed because it depends on libxft-dev, which isn't going to be
installed. Okay,
apt-get install libxft-dev
Can't be installed because it depends on libxrender-dev, which isn't going
to be installed. Fine,
apt-get install libxrender-dev
Can't be installed because it depends on libxrender1.1, which isn't going to
be installed. Continuing out of sheer stubbornness:
apt-get install libxrender1.1
Hurrah! This one *will* be installed. Of course, in order to do so apt-get
has to remove:

This just doesn't look optimal.
I have never delved into the internals of the dpgk format or apt-get's
operations -- I never needed to. Can anyone explain to me what's up with
the dependencies here?
