Hi all,
I got such error messages when I was trying to install some tools such as qqdbus and mdbus2. The exact error messages are
Code:
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  python2.5-qt4-common: Depends: python2.5-sip4 (>= 4.10.0) but it is not going to be installed
  python2.5-qt4-svg: Depends: libqt4-svg (>= 4.6) but 4.5.3~git20090723-0maemo6+0m5 is to be installed
                     Depends: python2.5-qt4-core (= 4.7.3-maemo5)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
And when I tried with apt-get -f install, I got such messages:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Code:
  python2.5-qt4-common: Depends: python2.5-sip4 (>= 4.10.0) but it is not installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
I have searched online but did not get any luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you try to install the missing packages and then try again with the main package?

Yeah, I tried to install the unmet dependencies python2.5-sip4, libqt4-svg, and python2.5-qt4-core. But it keeps saying dependency problem (mostly depending on python2.5-qt4-core). I got totally lost then.

Now I got it worked: I followed this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=658057
I just disabled the extras-devel, installed the missing dependencies, and then enabled extras-devel to install my target package. Although I have no idea why disabling a repository will make the installation work. Anyone familiar with that?

When a repository is "active", the list of packages that it supplies is added to the search that is done while installing. If the Extras-devel repository supplies conflicting versions, disabling it will change how the package search is done and you get another behaviour.
