Cinnamon dependencies issue on Debian Jessie

Post by v-five »

I have the same problem [as http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 8&t=156961], after that I used the apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade commands, my cinnamon package was removed, also cinnamon-screensaver and other related packages ( I now, it sound strange that upgrade removed packages, but it happened ). Now I am trying to install the cinnamon package with apt-get install cinnamon and I receive the same error:

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cinnamon : Depends: gir1.2-muffin-3.0 but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libcogl-pango12 (>= 1.7.4) but it is not installable
            Depends: libcogl12 (>= 1.9.6) but it is not installable
            Depends: libmuffin0 but it is not going to be installed
I am on debian jessie

I tried to install libcogl12:

Code: Select all

Package libcogl12 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
However the following packages replace it:
  libcogl-gles2-20

E: Package 'libcogl12' has no installation candidate
and libcogl-pango12:

Code: Select all

Package libcogl-pango12 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 'libcogl-pango12' has no installation candidate

Any help please?

Due to the transition from libcogl12 to libcogl20, Cinnamon from LMDE repos is now incompatible with Debian Testing.
