Hi all,
I have the following problem:
# apt-get install --reinstall emacs22-nox
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
emacs22-nox: Depends: libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) but 5.6+20070908-1 is
to be installed
E: Broken packages
But libncurses5 >= 5.6+20071006-3 is not available:
# apt-show-versions libncurses5
libncurses5 5.6+20070908-1 install ok installed
libncurses5 5.5-5 stable
libncurses5 5.6+20070908-1 testing
libncurses5 5.6+20070908-1 unstable
libncurses5/testing uptodate 5.6+20070908-1
This unmet dependency means when I want to dist-upgrade I am prompted to
do the following:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
bbdb debian-el dictem dictionary-el emacs22-nox nxml-mode ruby1.8-elisp
w3m-el
The following packages have been kept back:
cupsys hpijs hpijs-ppds libcupsys2 mplayer-nogui
The following packages will be upgraded:
emacs22-bin-common emacs22-common emacs22-el
3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 8 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
Need to get 25.7MB of archives.
After unpacking 14.2MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.
I suspect that if I allow dist-upgrade to remove emacs22-nox I won't be
able to simply install it again, which would be a disaster!
Should I file a bug report, or just wait until a version of libncurses5
is available that staisfies emacs22-nox.
Sebastian
