Bug Description

Hi all,

I am trying to build inkscape and gimp from source, so beforehand I execute:

sudo apt-get update;
works fine.
sudo apt-get upgrade;
works fine.

sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape;
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Build-dependencies for inkscape could not be satisfied.

Apparently, I got some dependency problem, but not with any further
information. Does anyone know how to delve into this further? Exactly
which build-dependencies couldn't be satisfied? Where should I look?

"apt-cache showsrc inkscape | grep Build-Depends" shows you the build-depends for inkscape.
You can then try to install the listed packages and you should get to a point where it fails.
