imposible situations

Hedon · 04-18-2006, 05:58 AM

Here's what I get for apt-get install x-window-system-dev and even apt-get -d install x-window-system-dev:

Code:

apt-get -d install x-window-system-dev
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:

Any ideeas?

Hi.

You said, that you're useing XFree. Well, I think you should use Xorg, becouse it's a little bit better, newer and everybody uses Xorg. XFree is out of date. So, think about changing.

With a ATI Radeon 7000 the Xorg 6.9 goes BOOM!

I found the problem. The XServer is half XFree 4.3 half Xorg 6.9. The dependency status is fucked up... I've given up.

I wanted to do this for GTK+ & especialy Gaim... I can live without it.
Again...

10x 4 trying to slove my problem.

Don't give up, everything is always solvable

Can you post you /etc/apt/sources.list ?

I think your problem may be that you have got some sarge repositories and some etch repositories, so apt doesn't know what to do.

Try commenting out any sarge repositories, and run "apt-get update" and then try installing X again. This way, the X server will be installed from the testing repos. Alternatively, comment the testing repos and install the X server from sarge.

I hope this helps
