Installing x-window-system-dev
OS:Xandros (debian based edited sources.list to use the sarge sources list)
I'm trying to install x-window-system-dev so I can install the cedega CVS but when I run apt-get install x-window-system-dev I get errors about unmet dependencies.
Code:
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:
x-window-system-dev: Depends: libdps1-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libice6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsm6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libx11-6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxaw7-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxext6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxi6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxmu6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxmuu1-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxp6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxpm4-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxrandr2-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxt6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxtrap6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxtst6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxv1-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xlibmesa-gl-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xlibmesa-glu-dbg but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xlibosmesa4-dbg but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
Trying to install libice6-dbg tells me that I must install xfree86-common as one of the dependencies but when I got to install that 212 packages will be removed some of which seem important(xserver-common xserver-xorg).
So I don't really get why I can't install it. I assume I must be using xorg and x-window-system-dev is for xfree86 and that must be my problem, so what do I use as an alternative to eventually install cedega CVS?

Yeah, that's correct. You'll either have to switch to XFree86 or contact the cedega developers for assistance.
