In response to Scott Howard:
"Did you get the Debian package working on Ubuntu? I gave up on it to
handle other packages, but if you could tell us how you got the Debian
package installed, we'd appreciate it!"
After re-reading my earlier post I found I left much to clarify. The dependency problem I was referring to was that packages tilp2 and tiemu (often attempted to be installed together, and very related packages) depend on different versions of libticables, libticalcs, libtifiles, and possibly others, therefore they cannot both be installed at once. I said that the TiEmu Debian package _seems_ to resolve this issue because it relies on newer versions of the lib files. Upon closer inspection however, I noticed that the versions still aren't compatible with the tilp2 dependencies, so the problem still exists on Debian.
I have been able to compile tilp2, TiEmu, and their dependencies from source, and found that if all the latest versions are installed, there is no dependency issue between these programs. However, my installation is far from being an Ubuntu package, as there are configuration problems such as the TiEmu keyboard mapping issues discussed in another bug, and TiLP2 by default does not have the permission to communicate with a USB connected calculator (I'm looking into adding a proper udev rule).
My main point in relevance to this bug is that if TiEmu is updated, so should the libti* packages it depends on. That should be a huge step towards fixing these packages.
