Re: [tlug] Dependancy hell

Botond,

Thanks for replying.

Unfortunately, the --download-only option doesn't seem to work:

sudo apt-get install --download-only libgtk2.0-dev
Reading package lists... 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 resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.10.6-0ubuntu1) but 
2.10.6-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages


Am I still doing the syntax wrong?
