[Pkg-texlive-maint] Bug#369763: texlive-base-bin: not installable in sid and obsolete libxaw8-dev build-dep

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2005-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

here are the problems:

# apt-get install texlive-base-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... 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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  texlive-base-bin: Depends: libxaw8 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


# apt-get build-dep texlive-base-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libxaw8-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libxaw-headers
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
E: Package libxaw8-dev has no installation candidate
