digikam install fails on dependecy

I have just installed Debian Etch with Gnome, and then try to install Digikam to view my photos. I do this with Synaptic.

I just get this error:

Code:

digikam:

 Depends: libgphoto2-2-dev but it is not going to be installed

what's this all about??

you'll know more from the output of installing libgphoto2-2-dev

You probably just need to enable sid.

installing that gave this output

Code:

libgphoto2-2-dev:

 Depends: libexif-dev but it is not going to be installed

 Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed

and if I try those I get:

Code:

libexif-dev:

 Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed

Code:

libc6-dev:

  Depends: libc6 (=2.3.6.ds1-11) but 2.3.6.ds1-13 is to be installed

it complains about unresolved deps every time, so perhaps I'm missing some repositories?

try enabling the sid repos

ok, I think I managed to add the repo alright, at least the program is installed now.
thx for the tip!
