Ok, so I just downloading Elementary OS, and I love it! However, I can't seem to install Gtk+ 3.0:

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

This kind of sucks, since my favorite text editor requires Gtk+ to run...

Bizarrely, installing gedit does work. Also, I already tried Aptitude:

ryan@DevPC-LX /media/ryan/stuff/howl/src master $ sudo aptitude install libgtk-3-dev

  • i am not sure what you are trying to achive but you shouldn't install gtk 3.10 because freya has 3.14 already installed.

  • @Djax But it doesn't have the development files (which I needed), and any attempt to install them failed as shown above. Jun 2, 2016 at 14:05

Figured it out! I just followed the directions here but instead used my text editor, going to all the APT sources files (as well as the saves!) and changing freya to trusty. One apt update later, and it installed!
