problem installing libmotif-dev on debian sarge stable

| Hi. I am trying to install the development files for motif but i get this:
porter:~# apt-get install libmotif-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmotif-dev: Depends: xlibs-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
On dselect, if i mark libmotif-dev to download, i get this unmet dependency=
:
*** Req libs zlib1g compression library - runtime
** Opt libdevel zlib1g-dev compression library - development

Welcome to unstable and the c++ and x.org transition. You have to wait until
the transiton is finished or fix the correspondent packages on your own.
Remember: thats the reason why its called unstable (or maybe even testing).
This could happen all the time.

No, debian-devel is mainly the list for developers and other people
working on the Debian operating system. I think your original question
is better asked at debian-user@lists.debian.org . If the ensuing
discussion does result in a bug being found (which I'm not yet convinced
is the case), it is best to report it on the individual package through
the BTS, for instance using the "reportbug" command. It is perfectly OK
to report a bug on a package in stable.
When you ask at debian-user, you might want to give a little more
information than was in your first mail. For instance: what are the
contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file; what happens if you try
"apt-get install xlibs-dev" or "aptitude install libmotif-dev"; etc.
Good luck,

Then I'm sorry, I tried to reproduce the problem, here my results on a fresh
installed sarge chroot:
root@lisa:/# apt-get install libmotif-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package libmotif-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
lesstif2-dev lesstif-dev
E: Package libmotif-dev has no installation candidate
Okay no problem, then we could use:
root@lisa:/# apt-get install lesstif2-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
[....]
Works no problem. And for completeness my sources.list:
root@lisa:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
So you should really check your sources list and if you really have a sarge
system and not sid/etch.
Best wishes
Alex
