Bug#431024: libvte4: Broken depends on libvte-common (wants 1:0.12.2-5 but only, 1:0.16.6-1 is avail)

[Drew Vogel]

Package: libvte4
Version: 1:0.12.2-5
Severity: important

It appears that libvte-common was upgraded in unstable but libvte4 has 
not been upgraded despite having an exact version depends. This prevents 
sun-java5-jdk (among other packages) from being installed with this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------
# apt-get install libvte4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... 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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libvte4: Depends: libvte-common (= 1:0.12.2-5) but 1:0.16.6-1 is to be 
installed
E: Broken packages
