Those broken dependencies can be fixed by auto-removing libeet1 then re-installing

ENLIGHTENMENT E17 ON UBUNTU 9.04

The site http://xsm.alphagemini.org/E17/repository/

Has an excellent repository for installing Enlightenment e17 in Ubuntu 9.04

Ignore the advice about pinning … it will install perfectly. This is the ONLY method that seems to get a fully functioning E17 into Ubuntu 9.04

All that is required is to add this repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file

Add the following line …

deb http://debian.alphagemini.org/ unstable main

then sudo apt-get update

then apt-get install e17 emodules-all

The repo given here no longer works. Try the one available at:

http://xsm.alphagemini.org/E17/repository/

Just use the repo and key provided on that site and the rest of the instructions should stay the same…

Does probably work for 32bit version of Ubuntu, but no way in 64 bit version. I’ve tried and did not work at all.
