ImageMagick [ SOLVED ]

[Dar-es-Salaam]

Hi

I need several additional parts to ImageMagick but it will not install them, can anyone tell me why or what I am doing wrong. I am using aptitude to try and install them but all I get is the following

Some packages were broken and have been fixed:

libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev [Not Installed]
libgtk2.0-dev [Not Installed]
libjasper-dev [Not Installed]
liblcms1-dev [Not Installed]
libmagick++-dev [Not Installed]
libmagickcore-dev [Not Installed]
libmagickwand-dev [Not Installed]
librsvg2-dev [Not Installed]

[ Ok ]

The one's that I am trying to install are

libmagick++-dev
libmagick++4
libmagickcore-dev
libmagickcore3
libmagickcore4
libmagickcore4-extra
libmagickwand-dev
libmagickwand3
libmagickwand4

As you can see from the lists some of them have install while others will not and I can't find libmagick++4 at all

Any help please

Hi Gordon,

which is your sources.list? For me it looks like latest testing? The pks you are trying to install are available in the testing repos.

Hi Gerd50

Yeah they are testing and I am on testing repo's but they won't install

[Gerd50]

I tried it and you are right, there are unsolved dependencies. Did you try it with a quick change to the unstable repos or
any other variable of the sources.list?

Hi Gerd50,

Yes I was on incomming repro to start with but switched back to testing but I haven't tried unstable. I will have to find the unstable repro's to try it

Hi Gerd50,

Success, switching to unstable did the trick though I have probably done something wrong as I did a dist upgrade so that now everything is on unstable.
Will switching back to incomming and doing a dist upgrade again remove the files that i needed to install the program I wanted to use make it crash ?

Hi Gordon,

uuuhhh, dist upgrade with unstable sources sharpened? I guess you have the chance now to check how stable LMDE sid is

I don't know what will happen if you switch back to incoming testing and run a dist-upgrade again. All i know is, there
are a lot of warnings that upgrades are possible, but downgrades are dangerous.

What i would do if it happened to me is, changing the sources.list completly to unstable. And wait until a experienced person
with this maybe gives green light for a downgrade

Hi Gerd50

What I suspected realy never mind unstable will have to do.

Thanks for all your help

Hi Gordon,

will your next step be experimental?

Ok, i wish you good luck with your sidified LMDE

No, but you can switch back to incoming and then you will probably stay a couple of weeks without much updates but later on you will enter the normal flow of updates.

Hi secipolla,

Thanks for that. I didn't know that I could do that being as I switched to unstable cheers
