xorg-dev: Depends: libxfont-dev but it is not going to be installed
While getting a Mimo 7″ touchscreen USB monitor working earlier I needed to install some packages however when attempting to do so I received an error. Initially I thought that I had broken something on a system I had just installed BackTrack Linux on however that was not the case. Below I describe the error received in more detail as well as how to resolve the issue.
Error Installing xorg-dev On Backtrack Linux:
root@bt:~/xorg.conf.d# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) xorg-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree 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 distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xorg-dev: Depends: libxfont-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages root@bt:~/xorg.conf.d#
The issue ended up being that I had recently upgraded however I did not update after upgrading so some of the repository URL’s were now incorrect and apt-get could not find the dependencies that sere preferred. To resolve the error issue the below command and then install xorg-dev again.
