I have been trying to install gnome3 to my ubuntu. And a had a partial success. At some point of installation, I came to an error, which I don't have any luck of solving, and I have searched for hours. The installation of gnome3 is now not that much of an issue, but of solving a dependency problem.
The problem is this: Every time I run an e.g. sudo apt-get install -f
I get an error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtksourceview-3.0-1 : Depends: libgtksourceview-3.0-common (>= 3.10.2-0ubuntu1~saucy1) but 3.8.2-0ubuntu1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
when I run a apt-cache policy libgtk-3.0
I get:
libgtk-3-0-dbg: Installed: (none) Candidate:

I have tried removing libgtksourceview-3.0-common so I could install a new version, but I also get:
> sudo apt-get remove libgtksourceview-3.0-common
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgtksourceview-3.0-1 : Depends: libgtksourceview-3.0-common (>= 3.10.2-0ubuntu1~saucy1) but it is not going to be installed
Does anybody have an idea how can I fix this dependency issue? This has happened on latest ubuntu 14.04 and also on earlier versions , like 13.10
