Empathy un-installed self (le gasp) now stuck in gtk3 dependancy hell
Playing with ubuntu 11.04 on my sisters netbook. I notice empathy was un-installed when trying to re-install I get this
Code:
empathy : Depends: libchamplain-0.10-0 (>= 0.9.0) but it is not installable |
does apt-get -f install or apt-get -f remove work???
|
Go into Synaptic and check what packages are broken. Remove the broken packages. Reboot (you shouldn't have to but I find it helps) restart synaptic and try to reinstall Empathy.
|
the broken packages are in the repo. so theres no way to fix them as far as I know

Looking back at your initial post it appears you may have installed something at some time but not through apt/aptitude/synaptic. This may be the cause of the dependency problem but we need to work through the broken packages first. |
The are gtk3 libraries missing from the repositories, that now need to be installed for some reason. Is the a way to regress the version required? The problem was likely caused when I left the Telepathy PPA(since disabled) in the source list when I upgraded

Yes you can force synaptic to install particular versions. Remove the PPA from your list, click refresh, then go into syanptic and try again. If it still has difficulty click on the application you want to install go up to the top and click Packages > Force Version and select the version you want.
