I am trying to install make
- normally I just type sudo apt-get install make
and it works, but on this server I am getting the following;
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
git-core: Depends: libdigest-sha1-perl but it is not going to be installed
Depends: rcs but it is not going to be installed
Firstly, I don't fully understand what git-core has to do with anything, but for now I just want make
to work so I ploughed on by running apt-get -f install
but this fails for the same reason.
So I tried to install libdigest-sha1-perl
, it fails because rcs
is needed. So I go to install rcs
and guess why it fails? Yup libdigest-sha1-perl
is needed.
I have never come across this before and any pointers on how to achieve this would be greatly received.
The machine is running Debian 5.0.9 if that makes any odds.
