I love Code:Blocks and it has been working flawlessly for many months.  A few weeks ago, on my Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) box, Update Manager failed to grab all the latest updates.

Here is the output -

user@user-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install libcodeblocks0 codeblocks libwxsmithlib0 codeblocks-contrib codeblocks-dbg codeblocks-dev
[sudo] password for user:
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:
  libcodeblocks0: Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.8 ) but 2.8.7.1-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I did a google search for "but 2.8.7.1-0ubuntu3" and "2.8.7.1-0ubuntu3 is" and many other searches with no luck - I didn't even get 1 hit.

I like to get bug fixes sooner than each major release, so that is why I would prefer to stay with SVN 5142.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

I found the answer in this forum.  I followed the directions in the below link & it solved my problem.

Maybe it would be a good idea to search the forum in which one seeks the answer before searching on Google  :D
