Re: apt-get -t unstable install gnome fails with unmet dependencies
OP: usually apt will
tell you what exactly are the unmet dependencies, just try to install
them directly along with gnome or reporting the exact error message.
The exact output is:
linux:~# apt-get -t unstable install gnome
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:
gnome: Depends: gnome-core (= 30) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
This is on the machine I installed gnome on previously, so many of the
dependencies are already installed. The machine I wanted to install
gnome on has none of the dependencies and the error output complains
about _all_ of them. As noted in my other reply, installing them all
by hand is really out of the question.
