Have been trying to install Gnuradio for several days and keep having trouble with qt4 not building/installing properly. Seemed to depend on a thing named 'unity-control-center' which claimed to be dependent on two libraries, both of which claimed to be up to date. This is what I got if I tried to install just qt4. Get exactly the same unmet dependencies if I try to install any qt4 app from the Software Center, FWIW.

ftoewe@ftoewe-Inspiron:~$ sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Asked for help a couple of days ago and got messed up trying to complete a suggestion. So back trying again. Thanks in advance.

    This did help. Was able to install qt4 after doing as suggested in the referenced post. Plan to start over wit a fresh install as have made so many failed attempts, have probably hosed the OS terribly. Many thanks to David Foerster. – FredT Mar 07 '15 at 11:32

The solution suggested in this posting worked "Can't install libglew-dev because libcheese and libclutter don't have the required versions". Was able to install qt4 after doing as suggested. Many thanks to Harris and David Foerster.

I tried to install libglew-dev and I had the same problem. I had to include the following packages to install it

sudo apt-get install libglew-dev libcheese7 libcheese-gtk23 libclutter-gst-2.0-0 libcogl15 libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 libclutter-1.0-0

It will include then all the required packages.
