PPA conflict

I had a similar issue in my Desktop. I was using another program that was not from the official repository and caused a conflict. In my case it was Emby Server.

Since I stopped using Emby, I removed all the dependencies* that conflicted and then was able to install pinta from the regular repositories.

* Be careful not to uninstall a program you use along with this dependencies.

I was unable to find a solution where I could keep them both.

Detect Culprit

To know what software is causing the conflict run:

sudo apt-get -s remove libmono-libcairo2.0-cil

The output will list all the programs that will be uninstall because they depend on this library. One of this programs is the culprit.

Try something else:

If none of these works try to look up this link about unmet dependencies: How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?
