I removed libtidy-0.99-0 because it was conflicting with the tidy I was trying to install from the site from a .deb package (the official package is outdated, HTML 3). Now Ubuntu has deleted the **newer** libtidy-0.99-0 package and when I run tidy it comes up with an error (can't load the .so file). When I run apt-get upgrade it comes up with a missing depends error:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 tidy : Depends: libtidy-0.99-0 (>= 20091223cvs-1.5) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

When I run with -f it wants to install libtidy-0-99-0, but the old version. Could you please fix this problem by either adding to the libtidy-0.99-0 package to look for the .so file and not overwrite it or provide a more recent (HTML5) version of tidy in the package manager. Thanks!
