How does one go about fixing broken packages? I've recently started using debian and apart some fiddling to get the latest emacs24.4 on wheezy I have not done anything on the system. When I tried to install libcurl4, I get the following error.
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. [snipped 5 lines] The following packages have unmet dependencies: libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: librtmp-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages Googling around and checking a few forums with various incantations of apt-get with autoremove/clean/install/dist-upgrade didn't sort out the problem. I now have no idea how to fix this issue. I have a stock install of debian-kde iso and the current version seems to be cat /etc/debian_version 7.8 uname -a Linux sivaram 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux What should I do please to get the package installed? sivaram p.s first time user of debian -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
