xorg-dev fails to install due to broken dependencies

[Stefan Eriksson]

I'm trying to install xorg-dev but it stalls here:

xorg-dev:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xorg-dev : Depends: libxft-dev but it is not going to be installed
xorg-dev : Depends: xserver-xorg-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

From what I can gather:

libxft-dev essentually fails because of:

libfontconfig1-dev : Depends: libfontconfig1 (= 2.8.0-2.1) but 2.8.0-2ubuntu1 will be installed
E: Broken packages

xserver-xorg-dev essentually fails because of:

 libpixman-1-dev : Depends: libpixman-1-0 (= 0.16.4-1) but 0.18.4-1 will be installed
E: Broken packages
