Debian Sid missing dependency

I am running Debian Sid. When I try to install Dropbox, I get the following error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dropbox:
dropbox depends on libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.36.3); however:
Package libpango1.0-0 is not installed.

I have tried sym linking libpango-1.0-0, but that didn't work

Is there a workaround?

    Hi animaldocfox,

    As you have found out, the dependencies are not resolved in your case (no completely at least). You can install them by hands or in automated way (I would suggest the automated one). It's not a good idea to symlink something (system related) when you are not aware what are you doing!!! It's easy to crash your system. Take a look here for possible (and safe) way to solve your issue.

    Hope this helps.
