broken packages error while trying to install xserver-xorg-input-mtrack

Question

I'm new to Linux and I'm a mac user. I'm now having a problem when i try to install "mtrack" to "fix" my macbook pro 8,1 trackpad. My ubuntu is on version 14.04 currently and i got this error message when i try to install mtrack from BlueDragonX.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xserver-xorg-input-mtrack : Depends: xorg-input-abi-20
                             Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.14.99.902)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I hope you guys can help me on this. Thanks alot!

Solution

I just checked out that xorg-input-abi-20 is present in other packages xserver-xorg-core-udeb and xserver-xorg-core

So try to install xserver-xorg-core manually,

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core

and then install mtrack
