A Facebook group member has run into a problem whilst trying to install dockbarx. I have tested for him, and the same problem happens. (The FB member was installing from the terminal, I was using the PI.)
Here is the relevant output from the Package Installer:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dockbarx : Depends: dockbarx-dockx but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnomepanel-applet-dockbarx but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Confirmed if only the dockbarx package is selected for installation. Clicking on Details in MXPI to show what would be installed shows nothing, even if installing recommends is also selected. I didn't try also selecting some dockbarx applets as well, nor dockbarx-common.
(Edit: I tried installing both dockbarx and dockbarx-common and Show Details still showed that nothing would be installed.)
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dockbarx-applet-appindicator : Depends: indicator-application but it is not installable
dockbarx-applet-cardapio : Depends: cardapio but it is not installable
dockbarx-common : Depends: python-gconf but it is not installable

Thanks D_O. Is this something that can be fixed, either for all, or just to get this one user up?
