Bugger. You made the right next move:
$ sudo apt-get --no-act install libdb4.2-dev
But your problem is here:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libdb4.2-dev: Depends: libdb4.2 (= 4.2.52-18) but 4.2.52-19 is to be
installed
Yeah I see he made it an == not a >= for some reason.
Solution is *probably* to apt-get update (clearing any intermediate
apt-proxys you may have lying in the way)
I did an apt-get update already a few times. How does one get rid of proxies on the
road ahead? Or maybe change an entry in sources.list which might pull down a more
uptodate version of libdb4.2-dev ?
Unfortunately UTS now blocks traceroute so netselect and apt-spy no longer work to
create nice working sources.lists :-(
Other solutions include a downgrade of libdb4.2 to -18 (but if the binary
package has gone bye-byes, you're stuffed) or hunting down libdb4.2-dev
4.2.52-19 by hand from a mirror and dpkg -i'ing it into oblivion. Then
apache-dev will have all it's deps already installed, and everything will be
happy.
I have never done a downgrade.
