unmet dependencies: libcurl4-openssl-dev
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.

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?
