[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#819235: xdg-app: unable to install, missing dependencies

[Stefano Costa]

Package: xdg-app
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I had been using xdg-app from the external repository provided by upstream.

However, disabling the upstream Debian repository makes the new package in
experimental uninstallable since both libgsystem0 and libostree-1-1 are not
present in the archive.

    steko at spheniscus:~$ LC_ALL=C sudo apt install xdg-app

    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:
     xdg-app : Depends: libgsystem0 (>= 2015.2) but it is not installable
               Depends: libostree-1-1 (>= 2016.1) but it is not installable
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Thanks,
steko
