[Bug 429636] Re: ubuntu 8.04 cannot install apache2-prefork-dev

[Nadia Alramli]

Hi,

I'm having the same issue exactly. When I try install apache2-prefork-
dev on Ubuntu 8.04 and I'm getting:

$ sudo apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev 
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.

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:
  apache2-prefork-dev: Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I get the same error if I tried to install:  apache2-threaded-dev
--------------------------
I tried to install libaprutil1-dev manually and I got this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libaprutil1-dev: Depends: libldap2-dev but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libpcre3-dev but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libpq-dev but it is not going to be installed

Then I tried to install each of these packages manually:

$ sudo apt-get install libldap2-dev
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libldap2-dev: Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.7-6ubuntu3) but 2.4.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

$ sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libpcre3-dev: Depends: libpcre3 (= 7.4-1ubuntu2) but 7.4-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

$ sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libpq-dev: Depends: libpq5 (= 8.3.1-1) but 8.3.6-0ubuntu8.04 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
--------------------------------
>1. Is this reproducible?
Yes, I'm unable to install any of these packages.
>2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible.
hmm, I was never able to get around this issue. I can consistently get this error whenever I try to install any of these packages. As a result I can't install mod_wsgi. To me there were no steps involved just ran: apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev and got the errors

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release:	8.04

If you want more details on the installed packages or if you have any
questions please let me know. I'm really interested in finding a
solution for this.

Thanks
