libgtk2.0-dev unsolved dependencies

[pmd]

Hi,
I'm Debian user who added LMDE repos because I'm interested in few packages. Mainly Firefox and Thunderbird - newer versions than in Debian Testing.
I want to build some packages which I'm using very often at my daily work, but I found some dependencies that don't let me do this. I thought that I screwed up something when I added LMDE repos to my Debian installation so I installed pure LMDE on VirtualBox and got same problem.

E: Build-dependencies for pidgin could not be satisfied.

You aren't alone, there's a known bug filed for this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/695621

[autocrosser]

Yes---I'm needing this to build Gnome-Shell....missing using it.

[pmd]

I found workaround solution:
download libcairo-gobject2 from this site: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libcairo-gobject2 and install it by

Code: Select all

dpkg -i libcairo-gobject2(...).deb

add experimental debian repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list and:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install libpixman-1-0 libpixman-1-dev

After this libgtk-2.0-dev will install correctly

You can ofc download those packages directly from packages.debian.org without adding experimental repository.
Works good for me.

[autocrosser]

Thanks!! I had not thought of that--worked very well.

[Angel_Caido]

The workaround works... but only for LMDE 32 bits!
I've installed both LMDE 64 and 32 bits and even though it solved my problem in the 32 bits version I wasn't that lucky with the 64 bits version.
Oh, the experimental repository that I used for my /etc/apt/sources.list and worked fine with my 32 bits system was the following:

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main

Thanks for the tip, though.

[autocrosser]

I ended up getting all the depends from Ubuntu.

[drr00t]

Hi, i got all deps from ubuntu too. I had to force ubuntu version for libfontconfig1-dev to work.

[Angel_Caido]

Which dependencies did you get and force? 'cause I tried to do that [force one package] and it tried to remove [and actually ended up removing] the entire Mint Desktop [GUI included].
Any 64 bits workaround to this issue?

[autocrosser]

Interesting...I pulled libgtk2.0-dev & it's depends from Ubuntu Maverick-proposed...I'm running 64bit & gdebi'd them in without a problem. Didn't have to force any of them.

[Angel_Caido]

Could you please help me out here then, autocrosser? I'm still stuck.
I've already tried pmd workaround but only worked on 32 bits.

Tried your workaround to no avail. I must be doing something wrong.
I've downloaded the package libgtk2.0-dev_2.22.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb from Maverick-Proposed but when I try to GDebi it I receive this message:

Code: Select all

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.22.0-0ubuntu1)

[/color]
So, I try to GDebi the package libgtk2.0-0_2.22.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb [also downloaded from Maverick-Proposed], then I receive the following message:

Code: Select all

Error: Breaks existing package 'gtk2-engines-pixbuf' dependency libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.20.1-2)

[/color]

The package libgtk2.0-0 version 2.20.1-2 is already installed in my system according to synaptics, but if I attempt to remove it I get the warning that it'll take basically the entire Mint system with it.

[autocrosser]

I'm almost on my way to work right now---I'll get things together in about 8 hours....hang in there!!!

[autocrosser]

***NOTE*** It looks like I got the stuff from Maverick, not Maverick-Proposed---Adjust the info accordingly********


I've installed all the Libgtk2.0-0 stuff from Ubuntu. Version # is 2.20.1-2. Files that I installed: libgtk2.0-0, libgtk2.0-bin, libgtk2.0-common & libgtk2.0-dev---get all of them from Maverick-proposed & to be honest Gedbi will indicate which it wants first--if there are unsatisfied depends you will need to get them from the same source,


Speaking of sources, this is what my source.list looks like:

Unfortunately still doesn't work for me. One of the packages conflicts with the mint system [I don't have the name of the package right now]. This happens on a fresh installed LMDE 64 bits with and without updates.
I'll try later.

[Angel_Caido]

I Finally got this dependencies issue taken care of.
I have to clarify that this was done on a fresh installation of Linux Mint Debian 64 bits.
This is what I did:
I went to the terminal and edit the /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

I disabled the Linux Mint Debian repositories; then added the Linux Mint Julia and Ubuntu Maverick Repositories. This is how my sources.list looked like:

Code: Select all

#deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ julia main upstream import
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main

I updated the repository sources:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

I received a GPG error ['cause I was using ubuntu's repos] which I solved with these lines on the terminal:

Code: Select all

gpg --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5
gpg --export --armor 40976EAF437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add -

I received an error when executing the lines above. It turns out the package apt-xapian-index wasn't installed, so, I installed it using:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install apt-xapian-index

Then I re-ran the sources update:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

After all this I fired up synaptic and then looked up for the libgtk2.0-dev package [which wasn't installed] and marked it for installation.
Synaptic informed me that some other packages were about to be installed and some other ones upgraded.
I applied the changes and Synaptic did its magic.
When everything was done I closed Synaptic and went back to edit the sources.list file and left it as follows:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
#deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ julia main upstream import
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
#deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main

I re-ran the sources update:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Rebooted my system and... dependencies problems solved.
Hope it helps.
