I am trying to install freeciv (a unix game) and I keep getting an error and don't know how to resolve the issue. The game requires X so I have installed Apple's X server and it runs fine.

Here is the command that I am running and the result:

% sudo apt-get -f install freeciv
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
freeciv: Depends: imlib-shlibs but it is not going to be installed
Depends: readline-shlibs (>= 4.3-5) but it is not going to be installed
giflib-shlibs: Depends: x11
gtk+: Depends: x11
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Next I tried this:

% sudo apt-get -f install
