Trouble installing the dependencies for wireshark 1.12.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit

0

Hi,

I've run apt-get build-dep wireshark several times and it errors out. here is my progress (abbreviated, of course!)

[email protected]:~/Programs$ sudo apt-get build-dep wireshark
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libcap-dev' instead of 'libcap2-dev'
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgnutls-dev : Depends: libgnutls-openssl27 (= 2.12.23-12ubuntu2.2) but 3.2.16-1u1~ppa2 is to be installed
E: Build-dependencies for wireshark could not be satisfied.
[email protected]:~/Programs$ sudo apt-get build-dep libgnutls-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Picking 'gnutls26' as source package instead of 'libgnutls-dev'
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 110 not upgraded.
[email protected]:~/Programs$

Seems to have me stuck. What do I do to get the wireshark dependencies successfully installed?

Thanks

Oh yeah, and my customized Ubuntu installation (desktop wallpaper, launcher icons for frequently used programs, other fun stuff like that) have all be reset to plain vanilla Trusty Tahir install. YUCK!

and can no longer be edited. Here's the error when trying to reset the ability to set the settings:

[email protected]:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background active true
