problems installing lcov on Debian 6
debian;apt;dependencies
Your problem is that you've tried to mix Ubuntu packages on your Debian system.Ubuntu is different for a reason. If you want to run Ubuntu then run Ubuntu. If you don't then don't try to install Ubuntu packages on Debian.To be clear: there is nothing wrong with the lcov package. If you examine the error message it says that libpango (presumably a dependancy of lcov) can't be installed because it will break plymouth, which it clearly states is an Ubuntu package.
