emacs-snapshot

[Gustav]

It won't install and apt-get say that there is broken packages.

Following packages has dependencies that can't be fulfilled:
emacs-snapshot-gtk: Depends: emacs-snapshot-bin-common (= 1:20051111-1~breezy1) but it won't be installed
E: Broken packages

and if I try to install emacs-snapshot-common (wich emacs-snapshot-bin-common depends on) it tries to remove OpenOffice.org

Aha. First you seem to be missing the breezy-updates repositories. Second, I get the same error on mine and I do have the breezy-updates repositories set up.

To correct the first, add the following to your sources.list file:

deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted universe multiverse


For the second error, I'm afraid that waiting will be the only solution.

Thank you!

Thank you!
I'm having the same problem. Cannot install the emacs-snapshot backport.

The solution is to wait until jdong gets around to fixing it. Patience people, patience. :)

jdong is doing a hard job very well.

Yes, I was only confirming the situation. I really appreciate jdong's/backport team efforts. Without them Ubuntu wouldn't rock as hard as it does :)

Hi jdong...any news on this front?

The problem is that a newer version of dictionaries-common is required, but it isn't in backports. I downloaded a version from http://mikesplanet.net/deb/dictionaries-common_0.62.3ubuntu1~breezy_all.deb (mentioned in another post) and it works okay for me.

Thanks. That worked.
