    [SOLVED] build-essential broken packages!

    Since i got into this problem by trying to resolve Nvidia driver issue...i'll post it here

    When i try to build essentials i get

    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
    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:
    build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
    libc-dev
    Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.3.1) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Broken packages


    i tried insalling libc6-dev ot libc-dev or g++ but to no avail...
    what should i do

    Is your Lucid 10.04 an upgrade from Karmic, or a fresh installation?

        Hmm. Fresh install of Lucid here too. A simulated install of build-essential doesn't show any issues. Have you updated the package cache - sudo apt-get update - yet?

              Re: build-essential brooken packages!

              Yep that seems to be the problem.
              I changed my software sources from "server for Serbia" to "Main server", and all of the sudden build essential worked.

              So it seems to me, that server for Serbia isn't working, if it exists at all.

              Should i report this as a bug that needs to be fixed (why did it put server for Serbia in the first place, if it is broken)
              If so then where??

                Re: build-essential brooken packages!

                During installation, you identified your regional location. That's where the server location for the sources list will be built for. It's more likely, that the Serbia server isn't fully synced with the main servers. Not a bug. That's why we are given the option of selecting different servers.
