openttd-data version mismatch

[Tim Pederick]

PlayDeb's OpenTTD packages for precise (12.04) are broken due to a version mismatch. (Definitely for amd64, quite likely for i386 also.)

The following commands demonstrate the issue.

user@example:~$ apt-cache show openttd
Package: openttd
Version: 1.1.5-1~getdeb1~precise
...
Depends: ...openttd-data (= 1.1.5-1~getdeb1~precise)...
...
user@example:~$ apt-cache policy openttd-data
openttd-data:
  Installed: 1.1.4-1
  Candidate: 1.2.0-1~getdeb3~precise
  Version table:
     1.2.0-1~getdeb3~precise 0
        500 http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ precise-getdeb/games amd64 Packages
user@example:~$ sudo apt-get install openttd openttd-data
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openttd : Depends: openttd-data (= 1.1.5-1~getdeb1~precise) but 1.2.0-1~getdeb3~precise is to be installed
...

Problem encountered when trying to upgrade from the Ubuntu universe repository (currently at version 1.1.4). I don't imagine a new install would be any different.

Hum, it is correct that openttd 1.1.5 depends on openttd-data 1.1.5.
And openttd 1.2.0 definitely depends on openttd-data (= 1.2.0-1~getdeb3~precise).
So I do not see where the issue is here.

What is the output of this command?
apt-cache policy openttd

Try removing openttd and reinstalling after an apt update:
sudo apt-get purge openttd openttd-data
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openttd

Ah, I saw your problem in the repository.

Somehow the openttd 1.2.0 package was not in the amd64 repository but only in the i386 repository.
Don't know how this could happen but I fixed it now.

Update your apt cache:
sudo apt-get update

All good, thanks.
