I have tried to install the package krita-animation-testing via the instructions here which tells me to add a repository, update my package lists, and install the package. When I try to install the package I get this error: 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 krita-animation-testing : Depends: libgsl0ldbl (>= 1.9) but it is not installable
                           Recommends: create-resources but it is not going to be installed
                           Recommends: kde-style-oxygen but it is not going to be installed or
                                       kde-style-oxygen-qt4 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

To my knowledge this is simply saying that the dependency, libgsl0dbl, does not exist in the repositories. I am running Xubuntu, and I got the same error on Gallium OS.

I do not understand why this does not work because the instructions are specifically for Ubuntu and I'm using 16.04-based OSs. Is Xubuntu missing a repository that I can add or can I get this dependency from somewhere else?

The error message in the question says that libgsl0ldbl is an unmet dependency of krita-animation-testing. libgsl0ldbl has been discontinued after Ubuntu 15.10 in the default Ubuntu repositories, so manually download and install the Ubuntu 15.10 version of libgsl0ldbl in Ubuntu 16.04.

  1. Visit the Download Page for libgsl0ldbl_1.16+dfsg-4_amd64.deb on Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit and download the .deb file.

  2. Verify the file you have downloaded with the MD5 or SHA256 checksum on the download page (optional).

  3. Double click on the libgsl0ldbl_1.16+dfsg-4_amd64.deb file to open it for installation in the Software application.

  4. Run the following command to prevent libgsl0ldbl from being automatically installed, upgraded or removed.

    sudo apt-mark hold libgsl0ldbl
