uninstallable despite satisfying dependencies



Hi,

How do I debug this situation: ipe won't install, yet I have the 
dependencies that "apt-get install" complains about.

Below, you will see that my attempt to install libipe1c2a claims to
have three unmet dependencies.  However, as you see by "dpkg --list",
I *do* have these three packages at a version that seemingly satisfies
the dependencies.  

What gives?


root@riemann{~}apt-get install libipe1c2a

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:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libipe1c2a: Depends: libfreetype6 (>= 2.2) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libqt4-core (>= 4.2.3) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libqt4-gui (>= 4.2.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
