Just checking what it would take to upgrade my Gnome to the latest
version in Unstable using apt-get install gnome -t unstable. The results
are that a couple packages are requested but will not be installed.
Tracking it down, one of the packages that won't be installed in
Evolution which depends on a bunch of libraries that won't be installed.
One of which is libgal23 which doesn't exist:
# apt-get install evolution -t unstable
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:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
evolution: Depends: gtkhtml1.1 (>= 1.1.8) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcamel0 (= 1.2.3-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcamel0 (>= 1.2.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgal23 (>= 0.24) but it is not installable
Depends: libgtkhtml1.1-3 (>= 1.1.8) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
# apt-get install libgal23 -t unstable
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package libgal23 has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package libgal23 has no installation candidate
libcamel depends on libgal23 as well, as does gtkhtml1.1 and
libgtkhtml1.1-3. So, I can't use the new Gnome as a result and I want to
do so.
There are no bug reports filed against libgal23 as it's not in the
system. libgal21 version 0.23-1 does exist however. So, I can't file a
bug report against a non-existant package, so I'm reporting it here.
any help is appreciated.
PS: I'm wanting to just install the new Gnome goodies from unstable
without doing a dist-upgrade to unstable which I suspect would fail for
similar reasons anyway.
