Hello,

I appear to have a bit of a problem: after installing some updates
(which apparently included geda-gschem), gschem is missing. When trying
to install it manually, I get the following error message:

        $ sudo apt-get install geda-gschem
        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:
         geda-gschem : Depends: libgeda43 (>= 1:1.9.2+git20151227-0ppa0~trusty)
        but it is not going to be installed
        E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Checking with
        dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
tells me that no broken packages are being held. Also, trying to force
installation of geda-gschem OR libgeda43 doesn't work.
The latter produces an error message about a libgeda-common dependency:

        apt-get -f install libgeda43
        ...
        The following packages have unmet dependencies:
         libgeda43 : Depends: libgeda-common (< 1:1.9.2+git20151227-0ppa0~trusty.1~) but 1:1.9.2+git20160115-0ppa0~trusty is to be installed

libgeda-common seems to be the correct and latest version already:

        # apt-get -f install libgeda-common
        Reading package lists... Done
        Building dependency tree       
        Reading state information... Done
        libgeda-common is already the newest version.

How can I resolve this? Or is there indeed a small dependency error in
the latest update?

Thanks in advance, best regards,

Richard Rasker
