When I try to install xpra/winswitch from the repositories on Ubuntu Utopic (using these instructions: http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html) I get the error included below.I am installing the stable builds, not the beta builds.
Probably some packages are just mis-named in the dependencies list.
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. The following information may help resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xpra : Depends: libavcodec56 (>= 6:11~beta1) but it is not installable or libavcodec-extra-56 (>= 6:11) but it is not installable Depends: libavutil54 (>= 6:11~beta1) but it is not installable Depends: libswscale3 (>= 6:11~beta1) but it is not installable Recommends: python-lz4 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Oh, thanks for the report.
That's strange because the dependencies are generated: we only specify libavcodec-dev
as a Build-Depends
, the rest happens automagically.
I will check in a VM.

Oh, weird. Thanks for looking into it!
I've just checked it in a virtual machine and I see no such problem.
Maybe you need to add the http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/libavutil54? (ie: sudo add-apt-repository universe
)

Ah... You're right. That was the problem. Sorry for bothering you with this.
No problem at all, we should have included this information on the download page - that's now done thanks to your report: http://winswitch.org/trac/changeset/5303.
