When I try to install libxinerama-dev, I get this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libxinerama-dev : Depends: libxinerama1 (= 2:1.1.3-1) but 2:1.1.3-1+b1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have followed this solution but with no luck... still the same error..

this is my source.list:

I really dont know what to do it has been a week now..

Also, I have tried to download 2:1.1.3-1+b1 version, the installation went well but when I check the version it remain the same.. (2:1.1.3-1)

EDIT: This is the uname -a output:

3.16.0-37-generic #51~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 6 15:23:14 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  • Have you tried getting a list of held packages with

    dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

    and manually installing them?

     – heypaleblue May 12 '15 at 17:54
  • @DJINDISGUISE there is no held packages :\ – Naor Hadar May 12 '15 at 17:55
  • hrrrmmmmm, Well you have a dependencise problem and your repos are finding the wrong version, take a look here and try and locate the installation files for your required version (2:1.1.3-1) and install with sudo dpk -i

    ALSO, some details like which version of Ubuntu, 32/64bit would be useful in helping solve this problem. Could you add them o your original post please?

     – heypaleblue May 12 '15 at 18:01
  • @DJINDISGUISE I have added it now :) i am now trying to install it – Naor Hadar May 12 '15 at 18:05
  • I'm going to answer here because I was a derp and messed up this thread.

    Do yes go ahead and download the stable release of the appropriate version of the package you need. Pop open a terminal and move to the download directory then,

    sudo dpkg -i .deb

     – heypaleblue May 12 '15 at 18:08
  • what was the format of your download? – heypaleblue May 12 '15 at 18:11
  • My bad, forgot to enable javascript :) I got this error – Naor Hadar May 12 '15 at 18:12
  • Scratch that Try: apt-get clean, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get install -f THEN dpkg --configure -a. I know that seems like a lot but it's only for the sake of being thorough – heypaleblue May 12 '15 at 18:13
  • Thanks!! post that in the solution so I can mark it as solved! :) (Include the previous comment too!) – Naor Hadar May 12 '15 at 18:16
  • also, awesome cause this will be my first "Answered" question on this Stack Exchange! :D thanks again! – heypaleblue May 12 '15 at 18:22

Download the stable release of the appropriate version of the package you need. Pop open a terminal and move to the download directory then:

sudo dpkg -i <Package>.deb

Not working? Then do the following: 

apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install -f
dpkg --configure -a.

I know that seems like a lot but it's only for the sake of being thorough. After that, try to install it again using dpkg.
