Package Version :

libcairo2-dev:

  Candidate: 1.8.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
     1.8.0-0ubuntu1 0

I am unable to install libcario2-dev ( & other developer packages dependent on it, like libpango1.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev), because of dependency discrepancy between libcairo2-dev and libcairo2

libcairo2:
  Installed: 1.8.0-0ubuntu1.1
  Candidate: 1.8.0-0ubuntu1.1
  Version table:

     1.8.0-0ubuntu1 0

The version of libcairo2 present in repository is 1.8.0-0ubuntu1.1 , where version of libcairo2-dev is 1.8.0-0ubuntu1, which is dependent on same version of libcairo2 as shown below

As we can see the dependency libcairo2 (= 1.8.0-0ubuntu1) is in conflict because present version in repository and also installed on my machine is libcairo2 (1.8.0-0ubuntu1.1) . This also results in dependency problems for other developer packages libgtk2.0-dev and libpango1.0-dev as shown below

Now, I doubt is libcairo (1.8.0-0ubuntu1.1 0) not an ubuntu version? based on policy output.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

There's no descrepancy - both binary packages are there. What is most likely to have happened is that you've installed libcairo2 from intrepid-updates and then disabled intrepid-updates so that you can only see libcairo2-dev from intrepid-release. Please re-enable intrepid-updates and run "sudo apt-get update" and try again.

[patrix (neo-patrix)]

I already new before your post that it might turn out to be invalid bug, but I really doubt if it problem with intrepid-release and intrepid-updates. I do not have anything like that in my sources.list, just have intrepid (main, universe, multiverse, restricted). May be following ubuntu forum thread give some hint.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Well, that is why then. You only have intrepid (release) in your sources.list and not intrepid-updates (which you need for the newer libcairo2-dev). That's not a bug - you need to enable intrepid-updates

My problem in Utopic is:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libcairo2-dev : Depends: libcairo2 (= 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1) but 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
                 Depends: libcairo-gobject2 (= 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1) but 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
