Packages held back because of dependecies

#1 Post by ConquerOfDreams »

Epilogue to my scm problem, I got rid of the partially installed package by removing the script files in /var/lib/dpkg/info (thanks to reinob for the suggestion) the pre and post install scripts and running the commands, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade but now I'm wanting to run pspsdk. The only problem is I get this error message

Code: Select all

he following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgmp3-dev : Depends: libgmp-dev (= 2:5.0.5+dfsg-2) but it is not going to be installed
 libncurses5-dev : Depends: libtinfo5 (= 5.9-10) but 5.9+20140118-1 is to be installed
                   Depends: libncurses5 (= 5.9-10) but 5.9+20140118-1 is to be installed
                   Depends: libtinfo-dev (= 5.9-10) but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: ncurses-bin (= 5.9-10) but 5.9+20140118-1 is to be installed
 libreadline-dev : Depends: libreadline6-dev (= 6.2+dfsg-0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Do I need to change something in my configuration file or did the downgrade process screw something up ? :/

This is what happens when you mix and match repo's.

The libgmp3-dev that you are trying to install is requiring wheezy versions of it's dependencies, but apt is reporting the Jessie versions as the only ones installable...
