Status of Gnome libraries and applications?
Can someone give me an overview of the current state of gnome
libraries and applications in the unstable distribution? I would like
to try our gnumeric. If I try to install it with apt I get dependency
problems
root@verdi:~# apt-get install gnumeric
Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...ok
The following NEW packages will be installed:
gnumeric
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet
dependencies:
gnumeric: Depends:libglib1.1 Depends:libgnome0 Depends:libgtk1.1 Depends:giflib3g
root@verdi:~# dpkg -l 'libglib1.1*'

Here I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how to get the complete
name of a package that has not been installed. It appears that
packages like libglib1.1.14-dev should be available but I can't get
information on them.
root@verdi:~# dpkg --print-avail 'libglib1.1.14-dev'
Package `libglib1.1.14-dev' is not available.
I realize that some of these packages are development snapshots. If
the projected release time is "soon", I suppose I can wait (lots of
Real Work^tm to do anyway).
