Paraview 3.4, ppa.launchpad.net and Ubuntu
 

Hi all,

I'm in the process of switching from manual installation of OpenFOAM 1.5 to Ubuntu deb packages installation for my Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid using the http://ppa.launchpad.net/cae-team/ppa/ubuntu repository.

I've installed openfoam-dev-1.5 and just tried to install Paraview 3.4 but the package is apparently broken:

sudo apt-get install paraview
......
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
paraview: Depends: libavcodec52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable or
libavcodec-unstripped-52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libavformat52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1 is to be installed or
libavformat-unstripped-52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavutil49 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1 is to be installed or
libavutil-unstripped-49 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libswscale0 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but 3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3.1 is to be installed or
libswscale-unstripped-0 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: mpi-default-bin but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


But packages libavcodec52, libavcodec52, ... are only available for ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty and I don't want to install it at present time.

Any workaround for this problem ? As someone successfuly installed Paraview 3.4 for Ubuntu 8.10 with this deb repository ?

Thanks
François
