ubuntu Dropbox 安装问题: libpango1.0-0 问题解决

libpango1.0-0 is already gone in Testing so it cannot be upgraded and other packages report broken dependencies. If it is manually upgraded to libpango-1.0-0, Dropbox (an important package for me) is removed because it depends on the old package name.

It is possible Dropbox will release a fixed package soon but in the meantime it is very easy to fix the dropbox deb file:

Unpack deb file:

dpkg-deb -R dropbox_xyz.deb dir/

Edit dir/DEBIAN/control and change libpango1.0-0 to libpango-1.0-0

Repackage in a new deb file:

dpkg-deb -b dir/ dropbox_xyz-fixed.deb

Install fixed Dropbox package.

sudo dpkg -i dropbox_xyz-fixed.deb

Install libpango-1.0-0 which will safely remove the old package and then upgrade everything else.

Edit: struggling to format correctly.
