How can I install with unmet dependencies
Testing for powerpc has broken dependencies.
I'm trying to install clamav, but both apt-get and dselect complain that the
wrong version of libxft2 is installed. libxft-dev depends on it. Neither of
these have anything to do with clamav, so I tried removed libxft-dev, but then
that set off a chain reaction that would likely have uninstalled half my system.
How can I install clamav in the face of broken dependencies? Trying the
suggested apt-get -f install doesn't help.
Here's my messages:
pishi:/home/mike# apt-get -d install clamav libclamav1 clamav-freshclam clamav-base

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxft-dev: Depends: libxft2 (= 2.1.2-5) but 2.1.2-6 is to be installed
W: No priority (or zero) specified for pin
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a
solution).
