[elbe-devel] elbe has unmet dependencies in Debian 9.0 (stretch)

[Lukasz Walewski]

Hi,

I just followed the instructions on https://elbe-rfs.org/download/ and tried to install elbe on a fresh Debian 9.0 (stretch) system. After adding the public key to the apt database and adding "deb http://debian.linutronix.de/elbe stretch main" to my apt sources I get unresolved dependencies:

root at stretch:~# apt install elbe
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 elbe : Depends: elbe-common (= 1.2) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: elbe-control (= 1.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

After looking at the decencies of elbe-common it turns out that it depends on python-pyme, which - according to https://packages.debian.org/ python-pyme - is not part of stretch (yet?).

Is this problem known? Is there any fix for it?

Thanks & regards,
Lukasz
