[Gnash-dev] Install instructions in the wiki fail for Ubuntu Jaunty

[John Gilmore]

The release blog entry here:

  http://www.gnashdev.org/?q=node/73

says to go here to download "experimental binary packages built by
the gnash team":

  http://www.getgnash.org

Going to www.gnashdev.org and clicking "Get the Code" leads to this page:

  http://www.gnashdev.org/?q=node/27

which says the current release is 0.8.5.  Oops!

Instead I went to "Get the Player", which led to:

  http://www.getgnash.org/packages/

I followed the instructions:

> Add one of these to your sources.list file, and then run "apt-get update".
> deb http://www.getgnash.org/deb-repo ubuntu main

[I also added an identical deb-src line.]

Running "apt-get update" produced a warning:

  W: GPG error: http://www.getgnash.org ubuntu Release: The following 
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: 
NO_PUBKEY 50B9A110A0B6D3FE

When I tried "apt-get install gnash", it says:

# apt-get install gnash
Reading package lists... Done

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:
  gnash: Depends: gnash-common (= 0.8.7~bzr.trunk11943) but 0.8.5-0ubuntu1 is 
to be installed
         Depends: libboost-date-time1.40.0 (>= 1.40.0-1) but it is not 
installable
         Depends: libboost-thread1.40.0 (>= 1.40.0-1) but it is not installable
         Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.4.0) but 4.3.3-5ubuntu4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Trying to install gnash-common repeats the three other unsatisfied
dependencies.

It was a nice try to specify "ubuntu" rather than "jaunty", but unfortunately
our built packages seem to be specific to Ubuntu Karmic rather than generic
to multiple Ubuntu releases.
