I am trying to install the Paper theme on my Ubuntu (16.04 Xenial) by cloning the repository and then running ./autogen.sh as adviced. This is what I get:




$ ./autogen.sh





./autogen.sh: 5: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found






$ sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf





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:
dh-autoreconf : Depends: debhelper but it is not going to be installed



E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.






$ sudo apt-get install debhelper





Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
debhelper : Depends: dh-autoreconf (>= 12~) but 11 is to be installed



E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.






What can I do to solve this issue ?



P.S.: I hope I am not making a mistake by calling this a "dependency loop". It just seems the best designation.

    Regardless of your dependency issues, I suspect the package you actually need to install is autoconf (which provides /usr/bin/autoreconf) rather than dh-autoreconf (which provides /usr/bin/dh_autoreconf)
