Debian :: Broken Dependency - Mark Smartcam Package As Not Broken And Release Apt?
May 21, 2010
i'm running debian lenny - latest stable i have recently installed smartcam (mobile phone as webcam over bluetooth) from .deb package , get errors of unmet dependency , but application works like a charm, unfortunately broken dependences block my aptitude , i cant fix them either as latest stable use older versions of dependences even in backports... how do i mark smartcam package as not broken and release my apt?
I was having a problem with a fresh 11.04 install and the VPN software I use for work. I found the fix was to upgrade the software, so I downloaded an RPM, converted it to .deb and installed it via dpkg. The install worked and the VPN software now works, but Package Manager says I have a broken package and wants to 'upgrade' to the older broken one. How can I fix this without breaking my VPN SW again?
After going from Debian Lenny to squeeze, everything was going OK, apart from 8 broken packages of which I was easily able to fix 7 of the packages. The last one is x-org core, which comes up with the error message /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_150-2_i386.deb returned an error. From all my research it indicates that an update from kernel 2.6.26-2-686 to a later version is required due to 150 udev requiring the support of the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED. My next question is where to start, do I need to add a linux-image repository in sources.list and then use the command-line or am I headed in the wrong direction.
I want to remove a keyring package I installed from a repository that I no longer want to use. However, I cannot remove it:

On my opensuse 11.2 pc, the Decmber 3rd KDE 4.5.4 update proceeded to install all updates except libkdecore4 (and maybe others). libkdecore4 now has a dependency on liblzma5 which is not available. The result is an all white desktop with boxes where the widgets should be.
I found this bug report: [url]
But I can't find liblzma5 in the repository that is listed in the 2nd posting.
I'm trying to install sid but debootstrap if failing due to bug #581420. I understand the fix is simple but how can I bypass/patch the broken util-linux package that gets downloaded at install time? I'm using the daily d-i business card CD.
I have a broken dependency. The package is libsdl-image-1.2-dev. When I try to fix it via synaptic, it says E: libsdl-image1.2-dev: cannot remove `/.' What can I do?
As this link advises [URL]my yum will not work now because of a change in the versioning scheme.How do I manually update my metadata so that I can start getting updates again, this is on CentOS 5.3.
I recently upgraded to Fedora 14 from F13 using Yum, it worked to my amazement except now yum appears to be broken because of a massive amount of dependency issues. It appears the old F13 packages are still around and yum is unable to get ride of them because their dependency with F14 packages of the same name. I tried yum distro-sync, and I tried yum resolvedep $(package-cleanup --orphans) --skip-broken but to no avail. Package--cleanup--orphans identifies all of the left over F13 packages.
I also can't install or upgrade anything using Yum, does give me a reason except the massive amount of dependency issues with the left over F13 packages. When I use the graphical software update it tells me among other things that Yum and RPM have updates but of course it won't update. I did follow the instructions and used yum update yum before I upgraded to F14, maybe it didn't take? Anyway to resolve this issue other than a clean install?
The problem is that yum is refusing to install gcc on a new SL6 install. As far as I can make out, a security update that I applied prior to my attempt to install gcc has caused problems. I did a new SL6 install (x86_86) a couple of weeks ago. This was a minimal installation, and I didn't install any dev tools, as I intended to install them later from yum. Since then, I've done very little; I installed a few packages (samba, xemacs, etc), and I let the system update itself. The update installed 'kernel', and updated 'kernel-firmware' [URL]. I now need to install the dev tools (g++, and so on), but I can't. I've tried this from gpk-application, and directly from yum. The complete yum output is below, but the basic error is:
Preparing to replace mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1 (using .../mysql-server-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3_amd64.deb).It hangs until i reboot the thing. This is not a normal error.I'm trying to fix it for at least 10 days.No Success.It happens when i try any package operation.
im trying to fix a broken package. i run sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up firefox (3.6.9~hg20100817r34537+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd2~karmic). i get this message in the terminal but nothing happens. also i cant open synaptic.
The problem seems to appear with the following packages:openoffice.org-commonopenoffice.org-coreant it said before that the broken package is python-uno.I uninstalled openoffice completely and now when I try to install it again from synaptic, it goes:
Code: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-core_1%3a3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1_i386.deb: short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/libfrmli.so')
I think I've installed mplayer from svn and now I'm getting that annoying "broken package" pop-up. Is any way how to make Ubuntu to ignore this package? I've tried it to solve it by following:
Code: user@mymachine:~$ sudo apt-get install -f [sudo] password for jan: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
I have installed a package that doesn't work on my system because some dependency is not met and I cannot resolve that without seriously breaking my system. Now I want to uninstall that package but it doesn't work. Synapic package manager is also not able to do anything with this broken package. How can I get rid of it now?
I'm using Xandros 4.2 Home Edition Premium in dual boot with WinXP. A faulty installation at Xandros Networks has cause the print service to stop, Adobe Acrobat Reader fails to launch, Open Office is completely gone from the apps menu and there are probably other apps gone haywire.
Xandros tech support rep told me that I should reinstall from scratch. I am wondering since I have Konserve backups of etc, home, and root directories from before these errors occurred, if I can just paste healthy files into the places where they are broken. But I don't know where to begin. I'm not too confident right now about reinstalling xandros from scratch. I WAS confident at Xandros Networks. Now, I have a broken package.
I had to start from scratch a few years ago because of a broken package. I attempted a restore of etc, home and root from Konserve, but the desktop became a mess, so I had to start again completely from scratch. I figure that I don't know exactly what I'm doing, thus I also have Windows which is made for people with slightly lower IQ. I want to be able to use those healthy backups, but I don't know how w/o making a mess.
The reason for installing the Lucid version is because Karmic version is 3 years old and crashes on my machine. The Lucid Amsynth package depends on newer versions of libatk1 and libjack0 than Karmic has, but I thought I would take a risk, and turns out Amsynth runs fine. However aptitude tries to uninstall Amsynth every time I do an upgrade. I think I've managed to put it on hold but now aptitude aborts. How can I tell aptitude to ignore the broken package and carry on.
I messed up at some point. Now, most apt operations result in errors.
At the moment, this is what I get when I try apt-get -f install:
Code:
Is there any way to fix this, or is my package managment permanently broken?
I just want to get to the point where apt isn't returning errors, because at some point I will want to upgrade to 10.04. This is just too risky with broken apt.
I tried to upgrade my pc from 9.10 to 10.04 version with the alternative cd as the update manager was not showing the new release. There were some problem in installation and the process stopped somewhere. Then, when I tried with the update manager I got some error.
The most recent upgrade for transmission has broken the package.I think it is a dependancy error between transmission-cli and transmission-gtk requiring a different version of transmission-common than what's available.I have Kubuntu 8.04. Here's my output:
$ apt-get install transmission Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
so i just installed ubuntu 10.10 from CD. After restart the Update Manager windows poped up and downloaded 21 updates.. but i can't install the updates because "The package system is broken.." [URL]
it's a fresh istall i didn't installed nothing i didn't do nothing
I JUST got back on my laptop now that I have my new A/C adapter, and guess what? The package management system is broken! Which sucks, because I have quite a bit of updates to install.
Here's the details provided by Synaptic when installing the new version of AWN:
When I run sudp apt-get -u upgrade (or use upgrade manager). I get the following error.The package libhttpcore-java:i386 is not ok and I don't know how to fix it!On another note I am running x64 so the i386 is throwing me off.
I'm sorry if this topic has already come up, but My package manager is broken, and when I press repair, it says it can't repair because the package manager is broken. I'm pretty sure the code is
I just installed dockbarx and had an error. It says that the package is broken. When I start Ubuntu Software Center i get a message that i have to repair the package catalog. When i go to the terminal and execute the "apt-get -f install" i get this error:
On my new installation of 10.04 on a Toshiba A30, I'm trying to install EMC2, using an installer file downloaded from linuxcnc.org. At the end of the process, I get the error message below after trying to fix the broken package with package manager.
E:/var/cache/apt/archives/rtai-modules-2.6.32-122-rtai_3.8.1-linuxcnc1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/etc/udev/rules.d/99-rtai.rules', which is also in package rtai-modules-2.6.24-16-rtai 0
get past this problem ?
Is it as simple as removing the rtai-modules-2.6.24-16-rtai 0 package ? Do I need this one ? Is it replaced by the newer one, the rtai-modules-2.6.32-122-rtai_3.8.1 ?
I installed postgregresql-8.4 in ubuntu 9.10 some time ago, now I upgraded to 10.04. Everything looked like normal, but when I decided to update my packages via synaptic, postgregresql-8.4 got an error and now it s listed as broken.
I tried to simply uninstall it, but an error appears and says that the package is at a bad state and cannot be uninstalled. How can I uninstall, update or reinstall the package?
