This is a regression bug caused by the fact that for correction of bug #1391857 a package cairo 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1 was created in trusty only but not in utopic.
See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo Steps for duplicating that bug: On a trusty implementation with -updates enabled install libcairo2 from trusty-updates (version 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1), but not libcariro2-dev. Upgrade from trusty to utopic Try installing libcariro2-dev This fails with The following packages have unmet dependencies: libcairo2-dev : Depends: libcairo2 (= 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1) but 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed Depends: libcairo-gobject2 (= 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1) but 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Proposals for solution: copy the trusty package to utopic or backport the 1.14 version from vivid to utopic. This problem has gained importance, because the ...ubuntu1.1 version has meanwhile been moved from trusty-proposed to trusty-updates and will be part of a standard trusty implementation now. ** Tags added: regression-update -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cairo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414333 Title: libcairo-dev depencencies in Utopic Status in cairo package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: My problem in Utopic is: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libcairo2-dev : Depends: libcairo2 (= 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1) but 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed Depends: libcairo-gobject2 (= 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1) but 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/1414333/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
