Not able to install htmldoc

Hi there,

I am trying to install htmldoc and I am getting the following error

Code:
apt-get install htmldoc

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:
  htmldoc: Depends: libfltk1.1 (>= 1.1.7-2) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.8rel) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I was googling around for a solution but no luck.

I tried the 'clean all','-f install' and 'reinstall' but nothing worked. I get the same error.

Any advice?

Thanks

Hi,
do an
Code:
apt-get update

and try again. If it still appears check the contents of the file
Code:
/etc/apt/sources

. You might have entries that do not belong to your version. See
Code:
/etc/issue

to check what you are dealing with.

Thanks for your answer. The update didn't solve the problem.
There is not file /etc/apt/souces but there is one /etc/apt/sources.list.

The /etc/issue returns the following

Code:
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 \n \l

How I can research further?
Sorry I don't have experience on this.

Thanks!

The version 4.0 is Debian Etch and is rather outdated. Could you post your sources.list? Could you also post the output of
Code:
apt-cache showpkg htmldoc

to see what version your system tries to grab?
