I searched for the above text, but could not find a match. The first hits are Ubuntu launchpad and Debian QA (puiparts), but they both seem to think that Scope is fine as far as I can tell.
Can you give the URL where you found this text? There was a period when Scope did not compile with gtk+3, but that was fixed a month ago, and there shoudn't be any other problems.
Question: How to check, without using Synaptic, whether a package is okay or broken, before installation?
No idea. In my understanding, a broken package version should not even exist as a file, much less in a repository...
