Description
Hello,
I've been trying to install XCAP on Ubuntu 9.10 for the past two days. Put mildly, the installation wiki is complete and utter nonsense. I followed the precise letter of the install for "Debian or Ubuntu Linux" instructions and it doesn't even come close to working. This is the most non-functional, opaque piece of software that's ever graced my trashcan. It's curious why someone would post installation instructions that are so removed from reality. Giving no instructions at all would be preferable, for that doesn't excite false hope.
when I get to the step sudo apt-get install openxcap soap-simple-proxy
I get this error:
--- ---
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. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: openxcap: Depends: python-gnutls (>= 1.1.8) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-xml but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Moreover, when I go to synaptic package manager to try to download python-gnutls, it says there are unresolvable dependencies:
"python-gnutls: Depends: python (<2.6) but 2.6.4~rc1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed"
Finally, sudo apt-get install python-xcaplib produces

And synaptic package manager fails to help...

There will be a new release that will address the compatibility of the newer libraries on newer systems like yours.
In the mean time nobody stops you to download the sources and build the Debian package on your own system using debuild command. If this task is too complex you must wait until the next release.
