[Bug 689044] [NEW] Unmet Dependencies for PrefixSuffix - Not Installable [Maverick]

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Matthias Klose (doko):

Binary package hint: software-center

Up to date 10.10 install, only a few PPAs with unaffiliated packages
included in my repositories.

Asking the software center to install the program "PrefixSuffix" will
cause the software center to announce that unmet dependencies and it
cannot be installed. Afterwords the software center spams me with an
option to repair or not (and doesn't let up nor "repair" it).

Here is the output using apt-get:
-------
cornwall at cornwall-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install prefixsuffix
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... 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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 prefixsuffix : Depends: libbakery-2.4-1 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
--------

and here is the version of libbakery that ubuntu has:

------
cornwall at cornwall-laptop:~$ apt-cache show libbakery-2.6-1
Package: libbakery-2.6-1
Priority: optional
Section: universe/libs
Installed-Size: 364
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu at lists.ubuntu.com>
Original-Maintainer: Bradley Bell <btb at debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Source: bakery2.6
Version: 2.6.3-0ubuntu1
----

I don't know the best COA for solving this but at the current moment
this package is a powder keg (and it's featured on my "what's new"
section!). It looks like the program depends on an old version of
libbakery - Perhaps PrefixSuffix should be removed until it can be
sorted out.
