Ubuntu
xf86-input-wacom package

xserver-xorg-input-wacom is version 0.31 and i need 0.30 for the wacom-dbg

Asked by Michael Clement

I am trying to get my wacom tablet to work on my 15.10 ubuntu. I was told it was supposed to work without me doing anything but it doesnt. When i run the command "sudo apt-get install wacom?" it returns saying that the package xserver-xorg-input-wacom-dbg depends on xserver-xorg-input-wacom (=1:0.30.0ubuntu3) but 1:0.31.0-6 is set to be installed!

i attempted to down grade my xserver-xorg-input-wacom package to 1:0.30.0ubuntu3 several different times with different methods but each time is said the same error message.

also it says that i have handled broken packages, even though i installed ubuntu only like 2 days ago, I only have installed a few things and havent messed around in the terminal much up until my tablet wouldnt work

Are you aware that you are not running Ubuntu 15.10, but version 16.04, which is the release currently in development (not even in Alpha stage yet)?

Try

sudo dpkg --purge xserver-xorg-input-wacom
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom xserver-xorg-input-wacom-dbg

Can you help with this problem?
