Public bug reported:

I attempted to install  libgif-dev so that Mplayer could use and see
gifs.  When issueing the command

sudo apt-get install libgif-dev

I receive the following output

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:
  libgif-dev: Depends: libgif4 (= 4.1.4-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I then attempted to install the depends and was presented with the
following screen:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install libgif4 libgif-dev

Need to get 77.0kB of archives.
After unpacking 9785kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?                

It seems that this package is not willing to work with kubuntu.

I am running fiesty 7.04 kubuntu.
