Can't install Banshee

This is what I get when I try to install Banshee:

sudo apt-get install banshee

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:

 banshee : Depends: libdbus-glib1.0-cil (>= 0.5) but it is not installable

           Depends: libdbus1.0-cil (>= 0.7) but it is not installable

           Recommends: banshee-extension-soundmenu (= 2.3.1+git20111114.r1.aea7412-0ubuntu1+maverick) but it is not going to be installed

E: Broken packages

I tried to search for "how to fix broken packages" posts, but none of them helped. What do I do to fix this?

You've installed the banshee 2.3.1 ppa for ubuntu maverick meerkat? Info you probably should have included in your question, rather than let the detectives figure it out :)

= 2.3.1+git20111114.r1.aea7412-0ubuntu1+maverick

The simplest way of dealing it would be to remove the offending repository from your '/etc/apt/sources.list.d'. Then, add the following ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:banshee-team/ppa

After you've done that,

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib1.0-cil libdbus1.0-cil

(they're available on the aforementioned ppa). Then, you can re-add the daily ppa,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:banshee-team/banshee-daily;sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

and you can install the soundmenu extension from there.

ps. I don't know if removing the unstable ppa is strictly necessary -- you'll probably get away with just adding the stable ppa and installing the libdbus* dependencies from that.
