failed to install package

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

I was unable to install this package on Oneiric as well. I get the following error message:
$ sudo apt-get install console-cyrillic
Reading package lists... Done

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 console-cyrillic : Depends: console-setup-linux but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

console-cyrillic (0.9-16ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Depend on console-setup for now; console-setup-linux does not yet exist
    in Ubuntu.
  * Neuter the init script, as cyr doesn't seem to be compatible with the
    way console-setup sets up consoles in a Plymouth-safe way during boot
    (LP: #597673). You can probably still run it by hand after login.
