Is the debian package for matplotlib broken??
I found the following error when trying to install the debian package
for matplotlib as per the instructions at the bottom of
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/installing.html.
apt-get install python-matplotlib python-matplotlib-doc
"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-matplotlib: Depends: python2.3-matplotlib (= 0.82-1) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Broken packages"
I then tried apt-get install python2.3-matplotlib:
"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python2.3-matplotlib: Depends: libcairo1 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages"
I then tried apt-get install libcairo1:
"Package libcairo1 is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libcairo1 has no installation candidate"
