Hi all, Using Debian stable. I have downloaded vim sources via 'apt-get source vim' and wanted to get all the dependencies to build it so I used 'apt-get build-dep vim' but I got this...
# apt-get build-dep vim Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Some broken packages were found while trying to process build-dependencies. You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. I presume that apt-get check will let me know of any broken packages. I didnt think I had any anyways.... martel:/etc/apt# apt-get check Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The apt-howto manual said that if I get broken packages that one can run the folloing two commands and try again. I did so but the apt-get build-dep still gives the same error. # apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. # dpkg --configure -a # so all seems fine. Whats the problem that stops me getting a build-dep for vim ? -- No violence, gentlemen -- no violence, I beg of you!
