Hello ! I am experiencing a strange problem with apt-get while trying to install libmagick-5. I am a new debian user; I installed the latest debuian testing yesterday with the net installer.
I hope someone can help me; I'm stuck. Here is what I do, I think you will understand: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- laptop:~# apt-get install libmagick5 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: libmagick5: Depends: liblcms (>= 1.08-1) Depends: libwmf0.2-2 (>= 0.2.2-4) but it is not installable E: Broken packages laptop:~# apt-get install liblcms\* Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main #deb http://mir2.ovh.net/debian/ testing main #deb-src http://mir2.ovh.net/debian/ testing main #deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main deb http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main deb-src http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope someone can tell me how to fix that. I am using a localized version of debian (FRench), but I modified the LANG env. variable to get an english output - I think it's better to post in english here ;) Thanks for reading ! :) Bertrand
