I have a mostly stable/testing system.
I wanted to install the boot-floppies package but it doesn't seem to
work.
When I use the testing version I get this:
# apt-get -t testing install boot-floppies
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:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
boot-floppies: Depends: cslatex but it is not going to be installed
Depends: cspsfonts but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
When I use stable I get this:
# apt-get -t stable install boot-floppies

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:

Depends: slang1-pic but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnewt-dev
Depends: gettext but it is not going to be installed
Depends: pointerize but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
My question is: is this a bug? Should I report it?
I can't find any live bug that refers to the boot-floppies.
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
