Can't install freeglut3-dev

Works for me however this could be an upgrade issue, It requires xlibmesa-gl-dev rather than xlibmesa-glu-dev though. Can you run apt-get update and try again?

What is the output of apt-cache policy xlibmesa-gl-dev and also apt-cache policy xlibmesa-glu-dev ?

Stills without working.

The error is the same, and I'm using the following repositories:

#OFFICIAL
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse

And of course I'm up to date.

Thanks for all !

What is the output of "apt-cache policy xlibmesa-gl-dev" and also "apt-cache policy xlibmesa-glu-dev" ? You can run this in the terminal (applications -> accessories - > terminal)

Do you have any unofficial repositories enabled?

llpamies@patufet:~ $ apt-cache policy xlibmesa-gl-dev
xlibmesa-gl-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:7.0.22ubuntu9
  Version table:
     1:7.0.22ubuntu9 0

llpamies@patufet:~ $ apt-cache policy xlibmesa-glu-dev
xlibmesa-glu-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:

I don't have any unofficial package installed and I've only official repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list

Thanks for all.

Look at:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libdevel/freeglut3-dev

In this page is possible to see (in the dependencies section) that the package xlibmesa-glu-dev is not available.

Thanks !

That's OK though, because freeglut3-dev actually depends on xlibmesa-glu-dev OR libglu-dev (the latter of which is a virtual package provided by libglu1-mesa-dev).

I suspect you have broken packages on your system, which is making it hard for apt to resolve this situation. Try 'apt-get -f install' first.

I don't have broken dependencies.

apt-get -f install returns successfull without problems.

Have the same problem...

xlibmesa-glu-dev package isn't available and libglu-dev, but here is what I get after running sudo apt-get install libglu-dev in a terminal:

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.

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libglu1-mesa-dev: Depends: libglu1-mesa (= 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3) but 6.5.1+cvs20060824 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I suffer the same problem since I upgraded to Edgy. In my opinion (I have seen similar problems in Debian before), the key is in the dependency from "libglu1-mesa-dev" to "libglu1-mesa". Currently, it requires exact synchronization between versions (= 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3), but apparently there is a mismatch (6.5.1+cvs20060824 is to be installed) that should have never happened. Someone should upgrade the version for the non-development libraries to that of one week later, and everything would be back to normal.

Additionally, this bug is a duplicate of 66796.

[Expired for freeglut (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I have a same problem.

Does anyone managed to find a solution?

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit)
I cannot install freeglut3-dev

the log is:

At least on current Zesty, freeglut3-dev is installable, so marking as invalid. Should you encounter this bug in a currently supported release, please open a new issue. Thanks.
