Hi Matteo,
I'm not sure I managed to follow all the passages you made anyway...
I managed to install Pd-extended (0.42.5-extended-20100601) on lucid (32
bit) doing the followng:
- Downloaded the autobuild here:
http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/Pd-0.42.5-extended-ubuntu-lucid-i386.deb
- Try to install the deb BUT (re)-discovered the font dependency problem
(already there since karmic... wish I kept a memo of all this stuff :) )
- Install vera font deb from Jaunty .deb package
- Try again to install the deb. This time all went well.
It seems to run pretty well and didn't give me any problem till now.
In case, feel free to ask more if I can help you.
Bests,
Lorenzo

Hi,
Thank you for your replies.
My dependency problems now are not related to fonts any more.
Now the main problem is libmagick++1.
I have found and installed a libmagick++2, but Pd Extended still
complains. I guess if it wants version 1 it needs version 1.
Now I have already located where to download libmagick++1.
Is there any problem in having different versions of apparently the
same package installed? Now if this libmagick++1 also has dependencies
on older packages of which I already have newer versions, and I manage
to fulfill all this dependencies, won't I end up with a messed-up system?
thanks

P.S. this sounds similar to the old "dll hell" of Windows, which they
"solved" with the glorious [sarchasm intended] winsxs folder which
grows and grows to as much as 15GB of mostly duplicate dll's.....

p.s.: In synaptic there's a "ttf-bitstream-vera" which I have installed.
Is there one in your lucid repos? If not you can add the karmic
repository and use it, or go by hand and also install the mising
dependencies as you were doing, they shouldn't be many.

Synaptic does that automatically because it has the repository with
the links to fetch the packages. I'm not an experienced "installer"
so probably someone can help you better. There must be a master
package in synaptic with all the fonts and correct dependencies, the
question is which one it is.

I found the binary
package here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/i386/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10-7
(for Jaunty) and installed it.
So now everything should be fine.
Oh shit. Now there are other dependencies; most of them probably
from "normal" packages that I can easily install with Synaptic;
the problem is that when I try to install the Pd Extended
package, it will complain of only one dependency at a time and I
will have to install each one manually.
Isn't there a way to automatically install all the needed (and
not yet installed) packages, just like Synaptic does??
thanks
