[Neurodebian-users] python package muddle

[Morgan Hough]

Hi there,

I was trying to install cmp (connectome mapper) but I didn't have python-traitsgui installed. If I try that I get:

mhough at cerebrum:~/Development/cmp$ sudo apt-get install python-traitsgui
Reading package lists... 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:
 python-traitsgui : Depends: python-traitsbackendwx but it is not going to be installed or
                             python-traitsbackendqt but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try and install python-traitsbackendwx

mhough at cerebrum:~/Development/cmp$ sudo apt-get install python-traitsbackendwx
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libqscintilla2-8 python-numexpr python-sphinx libx264-120 python-pygments
  python-cfflib python-dipy-lib sphinx-doc python-nipype docutils-common
  python-qscintilla2 python-h5py python-lxml mencoder libjs-underscore
  libmp3lame0 python-docutils python-vtk sphinx-common liblzo2-2 python-dipy
  docutils-doc python-tables python-markupsafe python-roman python-jinja2
  tcl-vtk libjs-sphinxdoc
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  python-traitsgui
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  connectomeviewer mayavi2 python-apptools python-chaco python-enable
  python-envisage python-pyface python-surfer python-traitsui
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  python-traitsbackendwx python-traitsgui

Does anyone have some suggestions to how I can track down the specific problem or perhaps know what might be happening here? I did try things like apt-get clean, etc. already. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

While I am sending something anyway I just want to say how cool the fsl_sub/condor integration is. 

Cheers,
