In response to Scott Howard:

"Did you get the Debian package working on Ubuntu? I gave up on it to
handle other packages, but if you could tell us how you got the Debian
package installed, we'd appreciate it!"

After re-reading my earlier post I found I left much to clarify. The
dependency problem I was referring to was that packages tilp2 and tiemu
(often attempted to be installed together, and very related packages)
depend on different versions of libticables, libticalcs, libtifiles, and
possibly others, therefore they cannot both be installed at once. I said
that the TiEmu Debian package _seems_ to resolve this issue because it
relies on newer versions of the lib files. Upon closer inspection
however, I noticed that the versions still aren't compatible with the
tilp2 dependencies, so the problem still exists on Debian.

I have been able to compile tilp2, TiEmu, and their dependencies from
source, and found that if all the latest versions are installed, there
is no dependency issue between these programs. However, my installation
is far from being an Ubuntu package, as there are configuration problems
such as the TiEmu keyboard mapping issues discussed in another bug, and
TiLP2 by default does not have the permission to communicate with a USB
connected calculator (I'm looking into adding a proper udev rule).

My main point in relevance to this bug is that if TiEmu is updated, so
should the libti* packages it depends on. That should be a huge step
towards fixing these packages.
