Package: apt Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1 Severity: normal When I try to install libgif4 on my etch system, which turns out to be no-go because it conflicts with libungif4, and hence with some packages that Require libungif4, apt-get says:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... 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. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies. dictionary-el: Depends: emacs21 or emacs-snapshot but it is not installable or emacsen E: Broken packages which is odd, because I have both dictionary-el and emacs21 installed happily. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10"; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; DPkg::Tools ""; DPkg::Tools::Options ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges::Version "2"; DPkg::Post-Invoke ""; DPkg::Post-Invoke:: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums --generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi"; Unattended-Upgrade ""; Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins ""; Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "Debian stable"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- # Debian deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib #deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free # Debian-volatile #deb http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile etch/volatile main #deb-src http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile etch/volatile main # Various mostly non-free software deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ etch main deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ etch main # Backports #deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ etch-backports main contrib # Skype #deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free # Opera deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ etch non-free # omega and xapian deb http://www.xapian.org/debian unstable main deb-src http://www.xapian.org/debian unstable main # wine #deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/ #deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/ # freemind #deb http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ experimental/ # freenx deb http://packages.debianbase.de/etch/i386/nx/ ./ # psiconv, fat-epoc and a few others #deb http://debian.frodo.looijaard.name/public/sarge sarge ultima4 fat-epoc #deb-src http://debian.frodo.looijaard.name/public/sarge sarge ultima4 fat-epoc -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2007.02.19 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
