Re: [Pidgin-rocks] [Question #83770]: Unsolved dependencies for build-dep pidgin
Question #83770 on Pidgin changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/pidgin/+question/83770 Status: Answered => Solved ಸಿಂಧು ಸುಂದರ confirmed that the question is solved: Never mind, I manually downgraded all packages, it was a bit of a PITA but the issues's resolved. My suggestion to anyone facing this same problem would be: 1. stay away from PPAs! if you are going to development, stick to your release provided packages 2. use apt-show-versions | grep "newer" to check packages that are newer than those found in the archive (in the case that you learnt lesson 1 ^ and removed PPAs to revert back stuff) this will help you find packages you can downgrade 3. apt-get build-dep pidgin -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true this command is a true live saver, what synaptic doesn't tell you, this command does. read carefully the output from this in case you land into dependency hell doing apt-get build-dep and you should able to figure out what packages you must downgrade. from personal experience its messy cause you have to remove a bunch (a whole lot!) of them and then reinstall stuff...i cant put it more better than this.
