I was trying to install FreeOrion on Ubuntu 13.10, but as I expected, I ran into problems.
I checked out the svn of FreeOrion and run through the instructions given here:
http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Comp ... _FreeOrion
The step to install orgre did not work:
sudo apt-get install libogre-dev
So I went on looking for something else and found this page:Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libogre-dev : Depends: libboost-date-time1.49-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libboost-thread1.49-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

which did not work in the Install OIS step, I got the following error:

Any ideas how to fix that?
