Failure to install xombrero on Wheezy due to unmet dependencies.

[Jim Murphy <srlinuxadmin@gmail.com>]

Hi backporters,

OS:  Debian Wheezy 7.7

Hardware:  x86_64 notebook

I'm currently running xxxterm out of Debian stable/wheezy repository.  I was hoping to install xombrero to take advantage of the newer features.  While trying to install xombrero(2:1.6.3-1~bpo70+1) from the backports repository I encountered the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 xombrero : Depends: libgnutls-deb0-28 (>= 3.3.0) but it is not going to be installed

I checked the packages and found libgnutls-deb0-28 and it was at version 3.3.8-4~bpo70+1.  Upon trying to install libgnutls-deb0-28 manually I encountered the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 libgnutls-deb0-28 : Depends: libhogweed2 (>= 2.7) but 2.4-3 is to be installed

                     Depends: libnettle4 (>= 2.7) but 2.4-3 is to be installed

                     Depends: libp11-kit0 (>= 0.20.7) but 0.12-3 is to be installed

All three packages(libhogweed2, libnettle4 and libp11-kit0) are only available at the lower version levels from Debian stable/wheezy repository.  Unless i missed a repository entry(could not find with google), I'm assuming I'm at a dead end or would need to install Jessie/frozen to get around the problem.

Can anyone confirm or offer a resolution to this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Sincerely,

Jim
