The reason is, that I have a build dependency on libsdl-ttf2.0-dev. This automatically implements a runtime dependency for libsdl-ttf2.0 (without the -dev). So far so good. But there is a libsdl-ttf2.0-0 package available which some other packages make use of. So apt tries to install libsdl-ttf2.0 which has the same files as the one with -2 in the end and fails because of this.

The actual problem is the missing libsdl-ttf2.0-0-dev (note the -0). So I can't use this package to build, but some other applications still use the runtime package of it.

Hope that makes sense to you.

Following my guide VCMI should still install, even tho the error was thrown. Did you try to run it after installing with apt-get?
