Does anyone know what to make of the message about unsatisfied
dependency for libsdl-dev? Notice libsdl1.2-dev is among the list of
packages to be installed. Is the latter just missing a provides:?
I'm thinking of building from source to enable debugging so I can figure
out what's going wrong on my system.
The binaries installed are from the archive, not locally built.
Thanks.

P.S. What are the "{a}" and "{ab}" about? Automatically added
dependency? The only {ab} is for libjack0, which is involved in a
conflict.
