Cannot install libpango dependency

Software GIMP
1

Hi,

I am trying to install gimp-git and I am getting the error:

- Error: missing dependency pangocairo >= 1.42.0 and pangoft2
    *** We require Pango with the optional support for Cairo compiled in.

I am trying to install dependency libpango by installing libpango-1.0-0_1.42.1-1_amd64.deb. When I open the .deb package using GDEBI I get the following error:

"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable:gir1.2-pango-1.0-0(=1.42.1-1)

What should I do to satisfy this dependency? Should I download gir1.2-pango-1.0-0(=1.42.1-1) ? Where can I find it?

I am just plain lost with this pango dependencies.

Thanks

You probably don’t want to install .deb files manually. Instead use your distribution’s package manager to install the library together with all the dependencies. Something like sudo apt install libpango1.0-dev should do the trick.

I get the same error:

– Error: missing dependency pangocairo >= 1.42.0 and pangoft2
*** We require Pango with the optional support for Cairo compiled in.

However i do have these packages installed using apt:

  • libpango-1.0-0 (1.40.14-1ubuntu0.1)
  • libpango1.0-dev (1.40.14-1ubuntu0.1)
  • libpangocairo-1.0-0 (1.40.14-1ubuntu0.1)
  • libpangoft2-1.0-0 (1.40.14-1ubuntu0.1)

Am I missing any Pango/Cairo related packages or should I compile Pango from source?

Thx!
