unresolvable dependencies for the libexif-dev package

[ramiro]

Binary package hint: libexif-dev

Ubuntu Distro:
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
Release: 8.04

"apt-cache policy libexif-dev" output:
libexif-dev:
  Installed: 0.6.16-2.1
  Candidate: 0.6.16-2.1ubuntu0.1
  Version table:
     0.6.16-2.1ubuntu0.1 0

 *** 0.6.16-2.1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The problem:
1. When I try to install this package from Synaptic I get the following error:
"libexif-dev:
  Depends: libexif12 (=0.6.16-2.1) but 0.6.16-2.1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed"
2. If I try to install from the deb file downloaded via browser with the following instruction:
sudo dpkg -i libexif-dev_0.6.16-2.1_amd64.deb
I also get an error:
"Selecting previously deselected package libexif-dev.
(Reading database ... 234604 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libexif-dev (from libexif-dev_0.6.16-2.1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libexif-dev:
 libexif-dev depends on libexif12 (= 0.6.16-2.1); however:
  Version of libexif12 on system is 0.6.16-2.1ubuntu0.1.
dpkg: error processing libexif-dev (--install):

Cheers.

This version was superseded a long time ago. Closing.
