Running Ubuntu 16.04 and did a regular apt update && upgrade I got this:

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:
 znc-dbg : Depends: znc (= 1.6.3-1+xenial0) but 1.7.0-0+xenial1 is to be installed or
                    znc-perl (= 1.6.3-1+xenial0) but 1.7.0-0+xenial1 is to be installed or
                    znc-python (= 1.6.3-1+xenial0) but 1.7.0-0+xenial1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Is it known?

ZNC doesn't package those. Please file a bug on launchpad

@wolfy1339 Aah ok,

Is this the correct repo? Doesn't seem like I can report a bug, even when I'm logged in. :/

@enoch85 are you using the PPA at ppa:teward/znc? If so, then I'm the one you need to contact about that - https://launchpad.net/~teward

Either way, not a bug here for ZNC, because ZNC doesn't provide the packages.

@teward Yes, correct. I need to contact you, and I tried without sucess. Guess I didn't try hard enogh. ;)

Purged znc-dbg so it's kind of solved anyway. See this issue as an FYI. :)

@asselinpaul that tends to install an "older" version. And you should avoid doing that unless you are using the PPA.
