multi-tty debian package not working in ubuntu edgy

[Sridhar Ratna]

I added this to my sources.list:

# Multi-tty Emacs
deb http://aszt.inf.elte.hu/~lorentey/mirror/apt unstable multi-tty
deb-src http://aszt.inf.elte.hu/~lorentey/mirror/apt unstable multi-tty

But unfortunately this doesn't install in ubuntu edgy.

$ sudo apt-get install emacs-multi-tty

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:
emacs-multi-tty: Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.12) but 1.0.11-7ubuntu3
is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Just goes to show that Ubuntu ain't Debian :)
,----
| % rmadison libasound2
| libasound2 | 1.0.8-3 | stable | alpha, arm, hppa, i386,
| ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel,
| powerpc, s390, sparc
| libasound2 | 1.0.13-1 | testing | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa,

So pre-release (Etch, testing) as well as unstable versions of
Debian have the correct library versions; Ubuntu apparently synced
from Debian a while back.

Well, on my Debian Sid, the last debian package of emacs-lorentey and
emacs-multitty depend on libc6 >= 2.4-1 but my system there is only
2.3.6.ds1-9 on my sid :-/

The emacs-multi-tty depends on libc6 >= 2.5.

Regards.

Now that is odd. As far as I can tell, that is a libc6 from
experimental:
__> rmadison libc6
libc6 | 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4 | stable | arm, hppa, i386,
m68k, mips, mipsel,
powerpc, s390, sparc
libc6 | 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge5 | proposed-updates | arm, hppa, i386,
m68k, mips,
mipsel, powerpc,
s390, sparc
libc6 | 2.3.6.ds1-8 | testing | amd64, arm, hppa, i386,
m68k, mips, mipsel,
powerpc, s390, sparc
libc6 | 2.3.6.ds1-9 | unstable | amd64, arm, hppa, i386,
m68k, mips, mipsel,
powerpc, s390, sparc
libc6 | 2.3.999.2-12 | experimental | hppa
libc6 | 2.5-0exp2 | experimental | arm, mips, mipsel, powerpc,

libc6 | 2.5-0exp3 | experimental | amd64, i386, sparc
