That’s par for the course with you running 'sid', you might be better
off trying 'testing' aka 'jessie'. If you run 'sid' then you must
expect things to be broken occasionally. What you do is up to you, it
depends on how much you depend on those programmes and on whether you
want to use them possibly in a degraded state? As I said, its up to you.

I am using 'testing' and occasionally something is broken and needs to
be fixed, but mostly its good with having to report the occasional bug.
