Title:
  apt-get install compatability error

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot
  apt version 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13

  I tried to install, via command line obviously, a few lib files, but
  when I pressed enter/return to process the command it would scroll
  through compatibility errors and say the packages are broken. Now,
  here is the thing, it didn't install or download anything. I could
  install them fine through Software Center and Synaptic. Oh, I have
  synaptic, if that's causing the issue. Anyway the libs that I was
  trying to install when this happened (not all at the same time either,
  at different parts of the day) libstdc++5 libsdl-ttf-2.0-0 and libsdl-
  net1.2. I'm going to list things at the end in order its done just to
  make it a little easier to read this:

  sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
  compatibility error
  broken package
  sudo synaptic --> filters --> broken packages (nothing there)
  select libstdc++5
  install
  no errors
  remove
  software center
  install libstcc++5
  no errors
