Not installable package ?
Hello !
I am experiencing a strange problem with apt-get while trying to install
libmagick-5. I am a new debian user; I installed the latest debuian testing
yesterday with the net installer.
I hope someone can help me; I'm stuck.
Here is what I do, I think you will understand:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
laptop:~# apt-get install libmagick5
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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmagick5: Depends: liblcms (>= 1.08-1)
Depends: libwmf0.2-2 (>= 0.2.2-4) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

As you can see, everything seems to be installed, but apt-get install
libmagick5 still produce a "failed dependencies" error ?!
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
#deb http://mir2.ovh.net/debian/ testing main
#deb-src http://mir2.ovh.net/debian/ testing main
#deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
deb http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb-src http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope someone can tell me how to fix that.
I am using a localized version of debian (FRench), but I modified the LANG
env. variable to get an english output - I think it's better to post in
english here ;)
Thanks for reading ! :)
