Bug#184137: libffi2-dev uninstallable
Package: libffi2-dev
Version: 1:3.2.3-0pre3
Severity: important
Hi there.
SableVM depends on the libffi2 package, and more specifically,
build-depends on libffi2-dev. It seems the latest GCC upgrade broke
libffi2-dev, as can be seen below:
$ apt-get install libffi2-dev
Reading Package Lists... 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:
libffi2-dev: Depends: LIBC_DEV but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages
Thanks for fixing the problem.
Regards,
Etienne
