    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
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libldap2-dev but it is not going to be installed
    E: Broken packages
    me@me-desktop:~$
    

    The above is the sort of problem I'm running into a lot since upgrading to Xubuntu 10.10.
    A lot of HOWTO's that I follow for installing various programs run into this unmet dependency problem so I wonder if there is a problem with how I've specified my repositories.

    My /etc/apt/sources.list is below. Is there anything that jumps out as being incorrect or missing?

    I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 and those packages all installed fine.

    I'll attach my sources file followed by the list of extra repositories in /apt/etc/sources.d
