libxft-dev: unmet dependencies
hey all.
im running debian unstable on 2.6.0
i did an "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade", and then
an 'apt-get dist-upgrade', but i get a recurring
error, when it comes to
upgrading/installing libxft2-dev at dist-upgrade. the exact error message
is:
"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxft-dev: Depends: libxft2 (= 2.1.2-5) but 2.1.2-6 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f."
has anyone had problems with this package? i noticed a bug online which
had the same problem with earlier versions of libxft2.
if anyone knows/can suggest a fix for this, it would be greatly
appreciated ... thanks ...
p.s: i have tried apt-get -f install, and it throws up a lot of errors
similar to this one:
> dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting
`/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h' with
> different file `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft1.h', not allowed
