Thanks for your attention. I did not force any dependencies, I just use aptitude, which thinks that all the dependencies are present: mniven@tapuz:~$ sudo aptitude search libcairo2 libgtk2.0-0 librdf0 libxaw7 libxinerama1 i A libcairo2 - The Cairo 2D vector graphics library p libcairo2-dbg - The Cairo 2D vector graphics library (debugging symbols) p libcairo2-dev - Development files for the Cairo 2D graphics library p libcairo2-doc - Documentation for the Cairo Multi-platform 2D graphics library i libgtk2.0-0 - The GTK+ graphical user interface library p libgtk2.0-0-dbg - The GTK+ libraries and debugging symbols i librdf0 - Redland Resource Description Framework (RDF) library p librdf0-dev - Redland RDF library development libraries and headers i A libxaw7 - X11 Athena Widget library p libxaw7-dbg - X11 Athena Widget library (debug package) p libxaw7-dev - X11 Athena Widget library (development headers) i A libxinerama1 - X11 Xinerama extension library p libxinerama1-dbg - X11 Xinerama extension library (debug package) I rechecked the LO bug system and found a similar report which had been closed becaue it appeared only in some Ubuntu (sorry) packages only. Any suggestions how I should proceed?
