Re: How can I install with unmet dependencies
dircha said to try apt-get update again.
I did, and it didn't help. I think maybe the packages are OK for i386, but not
for the powerpc which I'm using. It was just an hour or two ago that I
previously updated.
I also tried "apt-get install libxft-dev", which I wouldn't have expected to do
anything, as it was already installed, but it did try to install it. However,
it didn't work, because overwriting Xft.h with Xft1.h is not allowed:
Preparing to replace libxft-dev 2.1.2-5 (using
.../libxft-dev_2.1.2-6_powerpc.deb) ...
diversion of /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h to
