(You can get the info for these by typing 'apt-cache showpkg python-pygtksourceview' as root in your terminal)

Search for the entry for python-pygtksourceview.
It's "Depends:" line lists libxml2juuiiii, change this to libxml2 in both of the files.

After you've done this, don't update the application list or it'll overwrite your changes.

Then install pygtkeditor. After it's installed, don't upgrade the python-pygtksourceview package or you'll be back to square one.
Hi codeMonkey,

How did you do the editing on these readonly lists? I've been toying around with VIM for the past hour but haven't been able to save any of the changes (or delete text for that matter). me <- not very good with terminal based text editing.

Thanks.
