I just tried an update today and same old issue:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-video-mach64 : Depends: xorg-video-abi-24 but it is
not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no
packages (or specify a solution).
Works fine here. Did you forget to run "apt update" or update the GPG
keys for APT?
no, I didn't forget. I did apt-get update and it still stuck and so it
happened several times, apt --fix also.
However, using aptitude, dependencies got fixed differently and a newer
version of both xserver-xorg-video-mach64 and xorg server where pulled
in. hundreds of packages and like 2 GBytes of packages unlocked. I took
quite some time on the old iBook even with an SSD, but then, next
reboot, all there: new kernel, X11 working!
I updated GNUstep from sources and tested. Things are not perfect.
Xorg takes a long time to come up, windowmaker and xterm show, but all
GNUstep apps have some glitches in drawing of windows around the window decorations. like some update events where missing. Instead of window
borders I see garbage data, and the window content looks a bit shifted,
but the rest is correct.
I will test other apps and also try to understand more. I will try
switching between 16 and 24 bits. I hope it is not more bitrot in the
old driver, I already had to disable most of its acceleration.
