Binary package hint: wesnoth
The wesnoth package currently in gusty-backports (1:1.4-1~gutsy1) depends on wesnoth-data = 1:1.4-1~gutsy1, but this dependency is not in the gutsy-backports repository.
Attempting to install wesnoth (with gutsy-backports included in sources.list):
kkallio@sylar:~$ apt-get install --recon wesnoth
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)

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.
