libcairomm-1.0-dev: command not found

If you look closely in a text program you will see that tex sneakily prefixed the \ with a \LF and postfixed it with another \LF thus putting the libcairomm-1.0-dev on a new line and breaking the multiline apt-get. This issue is also present for Debian, and possibly other (all?) OS'
