Package: apt Version: 1.6~alpha5 Severity: important X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Affects: libgtk-3-dev
Recently, in pbuilder builds on my machine, apt has been having trouble figuring out how to install libgtk-3-dev. Debugging within a "pbuilder login" session shows: root@frobozz:/# apt install libgtk-3-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtk-3-dev : Depends: gir1.2-gtk-3.0 (= 3.22.26-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. The strange thing is, if I try to dig into what the problem is with "apt install libgtk-3-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0", then the installation is successful. So the package is actually installable, it's just that for some reason apt is having difficulties figuring out the installation set. -- Daniel Schepler
