Ubuntu – apt-get update says “Reading package lists … Done” and then ends the process

That means they've been kept back for a more difficult reason than new dependencies or needing the removal of other packages. Try apt-get install libavdevice53, which will try a bit harder to upgrade that package. You may find that it wants to remove something you don't want removed.

I installed aptitude and got these proposed solutions:

$ sudo aptitude install makerware

It seems that when I added the repository for MuseScore and upgraded MuseScore to 2.0, it also updated qt to 5.3 which seems to be incompatible with Makerware.

For now, it looks like I have to downgrade MuseScore or not use Makerware.
