Hello. I am trying to install libsdl1.2-dev. When I try to do this by typing
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev I get the following output:

dominik@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libsdl1.2-dev: Depends: libglu1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

How can I fix this?

I believe I have found a solution. All I had to do is use `aptitude` instead of `apt-get`. Silly me.
