    Hello -

    After hitting each of the installations steps in the manual without trouble, I'm met with several dependency errors upon executing 
    $ sudo apt-get install airtime


    Here's what comes up:

    wrnc@WRNC-L01:~$ sudo apt-get install airtime
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:
airtime : Depends: wwwconfig-common but it is not installable
           Depends: daemontools but it is not installable
           Depends: daemontools-run but it is not installable
           Depends: libao-ocaml but it is not installable
           Depends: libmad-ocaml but it is not installable
           Depends: libsoundtouch-ocaml but it is not installable
           Depends: libtaglib-ocaml but it is not installable
           Depends: libvorbis-ocaml-dev but it is not installable
           Depends: libcamomile-ocaml-dev but it is not installable
           Depends: libmp3lame0 but it is not installable
           Depends: oggvideotools but it is not installable
           Depends: poc-streamer but it is not installable
           Depends: odbc-postgresql but it is not installable
           Depends: python-pip but it is not installable
           Recommends: ecasound but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


    I'm a linux newbie, although I understand the basics. I'd appreciate any help you can offer! I'm following the automatic installation guide, for what it's worth.

    Many thanks.

    Try enabling the "universe" and "multiverse" repositories. Open up Synaptic
    Package Manager (in the System->Administration menu), click on
    "Settings->Repositories", and make sure "Community-maintained open source
    software (universe)" is checked, along with "software restricted by
    copyright or legal issues (multiverse)". Reload when it asks you, then try
    to install Airtime again.

    Perfect, thank you! It seems I had disabled the universe while trying to enable the multiverse. Now it's moving swimmingly.

    Hello there,

    It seems like i've got the same problem. The installation process ends like that :

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  airtime: Depends: oggvideotools but it is not installable
           Depends: python-pip but it is not installable
           Depends: rabbitmq-server but it is not installable
           Depends: tar (>= 1.22) but 1.20-1+lenny1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

    I work through the command line, is the synaptic package manager GUI only ?

    You can enable the universe/multiverse repos by editing
    /etc/apt/sources.list

    Thank you Paul !

    I added 'universe multiverse' to each line in the '/etc/apt/sources.list' file and oggvideo&python-pip are still not working.
    I managed to get rabbit repository, but it the server still refuses to star. Is there something i'm doing wrong ?

    If you are installing on a shared host, we can do the hosting for you. It
    includes installation and free upgrades as we release them. Contact me
    directly if you are interested: paul.baranowski@sourcefabric.org
