installing audacious breaks

[maindoor]

trying to install audacious, but the adept manager says BREAK(install). How do I troubleshoot
this. I just want a standard comprehensive music player.

Thanks.

What apt tells if you type in the konsole:

sudo apt-get install audacious

Re: installing audacious breaks

I get this:

skumar@skumar:~/ $ sudo apt-get install audacious
[sudo] password for skumar:
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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
audacious: Depends: gtk2-engines-pixbuf but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Re: installing audacious breaks

And if you:

sudo apt-get clean

man apt-get

clean
clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.
It removes everything but the lock file from
/var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.

and then:

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

also:

sudo apt-get install -f

-f, --fix-broken
Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.
This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages
to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. Any Package that are
specified must completely correct the problem. The option is
sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT itself
does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a system.

2.12.8-3ubuntu3 is a more recent version...why doesn't it overwrite. why does it complain.

2.12.8-3ubuntu3 is a more recent version...why doesn't it overwrite. why does it complain.

gtk2-engines-pixbuf: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.12.9-3ubuntu2). => there is = not >=.

Ubuntu Packages:
Ubuntu standard repository; Package: libgtk2.0-0 (2.12.9-3ubuntu2). Hardy-updates repository; Package: libgtk2.0-0 (2.12.9-3ubuntu4).


Maybe: Disable Hardy-updates, update package database, try to install audacious. (File a bug report). Or there are ways to force version: How to downgrade packages (forcing version)
