Re: Woody: Creating bootable install CD image w/ 2.4.19 kernel

[Holger Rauch <Holger.Rauch@heitec.de>]

Hi!

I seem to be faced with the same problem. Doing

apt-get install libnewt-dev libnewt-utf8-dev libnewt-pic libnewt-utf8-pic

leads to the following message:

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libnewt-dev: Depends: libnewt0 (= 0.50.17-9.6)
               Depends: slang1-dev (>= 1.4.4-7.1) but it is not going to
be installed
  libnewt-pic: Depends: libnewt0 (= 0.50.17-9.6)
  libnewt-utf8-pic: Depends: libnewt-utf8-dev (= 0.50.17-9.6) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

This leads me to the same question as the other poster already had. What
can I do? Could this be a bug in the depedencies?

Thanks for any info!

Greetings,

	Holger
