It seems it is impossible to install the normal kernel development tools. I therefore 
cannot compile a kernel (nor indeed can I compile a number of other packages).

The following information may help to resolve the situation: 
 
The following packages have unmet dependencies: 
  libfontconfig1-dev: Depends: libfontconfig1 (= 2.2.3-4ubuntu7) but 2.3.1-2 is to be 
installed 
E: Broken packages

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that 
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against 
that package should be filed.

Trying to work around these dependancy issues requires that I remove Mplayer - which 
all in all is not an optimal solution. 
 
Please advise.
