On my new A1138 i got a problem with my fresh Debian Sid Installation.
I tried different workarounds, but in all variants i stuck in "dependencies cannot be corrected"
when i whish to install the Programm Radio Tray.
I installed Xfce4 as Desktop Environment

The funny things is a few days i installed on a Powerbook a1106 also debian sid an there is no problem.
I checked /etc/apt/sources.list twice ! :rolleyes:
On both machines the same. :(

So i found 3 threads with different workaorunds. what is the best ? And which netinstall.iso will be the best ?help.

Debian Sid Installation from here

Debian Remix iso

Debian Fix Grub

otherwise i will also try clone the partitions from the A1106 to the A1138.
can somebody give me a simple workaorund ?
 
That's to be expected when using Sid. It's the bleeding edge unstable branch that's ever changing. 1 week an app and all it's deps are there, the next they are gone, or incomplete.

Your choices are wait a few weeks and hope the deps get rebuilt, install a stable branch of Linux (debian 8/Ubuntu 16/etc), or get the source of the package you want and compile it yourself.

Cheers
