Banshee is uninstallable due to broken depends

[Phillip Susi]

Package can not be installed due to listing several incorrect dependencies. It lists libc6 twice, once with the correct version, and again with version >= 2.7, which does not exist. Most of its listed depends do not appear to exist.

Which version of Ubuntu is this, and where are you installing Banshee from?

Please provide the output of the following two commands:
lsb_release -r -rd
apt-cache policy banshee

I'm using 12.10 (64 bit) and when I ran `apt-get dist-upgrade` it told me Banshee had been kept back. When I removed banshee and tried to reinstall it failed:

$ sudo apt-get install banshee banshee-extension-soundmenu

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Seems it's been fixed -- basically banshee was built against libglib2.0-0
2.34.0-1ubuntu1 which is in quantal-proposed, but banshee made its way to
-updates before libglib2.0-0, so you're seeing this issue. libglib2.0-0 should
be making its way into quantal-updates now once the mirrors are updated, so I'm
closing this bug.

12.10 and a simple glance at packages.ubuntu.com or apt-cache show would have confirmed this.

A simple glance at packages.ubuntu.com or apt-cache show libc6 would have
confirmed that libc6 >= 2.7 (2.15 to be exact) does indeed exist on Ubuntu
12.10, contrary to what you claimed in the bug description.

In fact, libc6 2.7 has been around since Ubuntu 8.04, i.e. four years ago. Your
bug description had merely led me to think that you were trying to install a
Banshee package targeted at a newer Ubuntu release on something older than Hardy.

As I mentioned in my previous post, the bug is:
1. Unrelated to Banshee (it was glib2.0 that hadn't been moved to
quantal-updates yet)
2. Fixed -- glib2.0 has moved to -updates, you just need to wait for your mirror
to update.

Please do not toggle the bug status again unless you have a valid reason.

Gah, you're right... even though numerically 2.7 is greater than 2.15,
it's earlier in version numbers... I kept thinking what the hell,
that version is from the future!

Technically it should be fix released since it is not installable in the quantal release pocket, and is just now being fixed in updates.
