Possible Pygame package dependency problems

Unfortunately there are some nasty dependency problems in various packages related to pygame. Below are some quick and dirty instructions for couple of known scenarios. Use these instructions at your own risk.

Please note that removing packages with "apt-get remove" will also remove all packages depending on the removed package. For the packages below, they will most likely be applications written with pygame and the pygame itself. When you run the remove commands below, apt will present you a list of packages that will be removed. Select "Y" at your own risk.

If the application cannot be updated or installed because of libsdl-ttf2 dependency problem:

If you get an error about libsmpeg0 after giving the command above, then:
Reinstall Outlaw Solitare from the application manager.
