    Problem with xlibs-pic package while installing QT3 Dev Libs

    Hey folks,

    I have 3.2 installed to my harddrive.

    I do not know if this is specifically related to Knoppix or Debian, but when I am trying to install the package libqt3-mt-dev to be able to compile my QT programs made using QT Designer, there is a problem with the package xlibs-pic.

    All dependencies of libqt3-mt-dev are installing with no problem except for xlibs-pic. libqt3-mt-dev depends on xlibs-pic, and xlibs-pic depends on xlibs (= 4.2.1-12.1), but only the higher version 4.3.0-0ds4 of xlibs exists. In order for xlibs-pic to be statisfied, only the exact version of 4.2.1-12.1 must be installed...

    The only way I found to solve this is to remove xlibs 4.3.0-0ds4 and to install the required versions, but that would break my whole dependency web and ruin my installation.

    Does anyone know how to solve this or if there is any xlibs-pic that can depend on xlib 4.3.0-0ds4?

    Thanks a lot

    Are you installing from the unstable branch? i.e.

    Code:
    apt-get -t unstable install libqt3-mt-dev

    Yes, I did it using that command but I get the following output:
    Code:
    root@DNLSYS1:/root# apt-get                            -s -t unstable install libqt3-mt-dev
    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:
      libqt3-mt-dev: Depends: xlibs-pic but it is not going to be installed
    E: Broken packages
    root@DNLSYS1:/root#

    OK, well all I can tell you is that I have libqt3-mt-dev 3.2.1-6, xlibs 4.3.0-0ds4 and xlibs-pic 4.3-1 installed.

    According to apt-show-versions, xlibs-pic 4.3-1 is newer than the version in the archive (4.2.1-14)! As this is the unstable branch, my only guess is that this is a temporary dependancy bug. Until packages.debian.org comes back online, it's hard to say any more.

    Sorry I couldn't be more help.

    Hi,

    First, have you done apt-get update and upgrade?

    Try searching this forum for problems and solutions with libxcursor-dev and kdelibs-data.
    Then upgrade the two packages.
    If you search the dependency trees for these you find xlibs.

    For libxcursor-dev you might have to install libcursor1
    Then do:
    cd /var/cache/apt/archives/

    $ dpkg -i --force-overwrite kdelibs-data_4%3a3.1.4-2_all.deb libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb

    After managing to upgrade these two, you should be able to install xlibs-pic.

    PS: Use my suggestions at own risk

    Hi Markus,

    Yes, I keep my list updated every day. I will attempt your method as soon as I back my system up just in case something goes wrong .

    I'll tell you if it worked once I try it.
    Thanks for everybodys help
