Have been using codeblocks for several years updating via the Ubuntu Update manager when Jens made new (nightly) svn versions available. On 64-bit hardware using 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04.3.LTS until a few days ago when I noticed various signs/symptoms of trojan/malicious code on the PC. (I let other people use the PC for a couple of days who may have entered dodgy websites clicking on dodgy email links).
Have started to move non-executable files (e.g text of programs(many)) from the 64-bit PC to a spare 32-bit PC and installed 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, so that I could check them with 32-bit codeblocks that I installed via the Ubuntu Software Centre. My plan was then to erase everything on the 64-bit infected PC, then reinstall 64-bit Ubuntu and copy the text files back.
However, the version of codeblocks available in the Ubuntu Software Centre was very old (2011) and I wanted a newer. I checked with the Ubuntu (GUI) Synaptic Manager and noticed that a recent version of codeblocks from Jens was available (svn 9298 7 Sep 2013). Wanted that, so I marked codeblocks for installation in Synaptic manager. The install complained about incompatible/broken dependencies, but did not give any details.
I have very little experience of the apt commandline, but here are two commands that shows info about the codeblocks package and tries to install codeblocks.

I guess the above means that codeblocks svn 9298 wants libfontconfig 2.9.0, but only libfontconfig 2.8.0-3 is available in 32-bit 12.04 LTS. I googled and found there is a version 2.10 available, but I don't know if that would work with Ubuntu 12.04, besides I don't even know if my guess is correct.
I am stuck on this and would be most grateful for advice.
