Likewise, I had the broken packages / unmet dependcies error messages
while trying to install LXDE. I got these errors after doing an apt-get
update following adding the aforementioned gutsy repositories. The
new ubuntulite will give a "failed" message if one attempts execute
it using anything but hardy.
My successful workaround was to add the Debian Lenny repositories and the
LXDE repositories. Then do sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install
LXDE. It will then install with all dependcies met successfully. (However, I recommend going back and commenting out the Debian Lenny
repos to minimize future conflicts when attempting to install other packages.
The repos I added are as follows:
deb
http://people.linux.org.tw/~andrew/debian/lxde/ ./
deb
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb
http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
I hope this helps someone as it was not an easy solution to find.
Also, the broken packages for Gusty above really should be fixed.
Should it be reported as a bug?
