General :: Pidgin Installation Via Terminal - Packages Have Unmet Dependencies: Pidgin: Depends: Libpurple0
May 1, 2010
I am using Ubuntu 9.04. After doing sudo apt-get update When I try to insatll pidgin via terminal it shows: XXX@XXX-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install pidgin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: pidgin: Depends: libpurple0 (>= 1:2.6.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1) but 5.10.0-19ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Broken packages
I have a Kubuntu 10.10 install on which I can't update my packages due to some fail conflict between pidgin and pidgin-facebookchat. I can't even remove the stuff via apt-get due to this conflict...

I have tried installing gammu-smsd on both hardy and jaunty... this is the error I'm getting...

I have tried looking for both of these packages individually but to my suprise no luck!! And when I google such error messages, nothing comes up.. I'm almost into tears..I just wish I knew what to do to begin troubleshooting and or my options at this point for making this work... some of my referenced articles: [URL]
I am trying to upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 from my current 10.10 system. If I try to upgrade with Upgrade Manager it stops at calculating upgrade step and I can see red circle at top left corner, hovering over this gives message - An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'

I have the following error in 10.04. I've tried several times to uninstall, resolve, install these dependencies and am at my wits end now. This morning I gave up on OpenJDK and installed Sun JDK, hence the sun versions below. But this error is stopping me from installing anything else.

So recently I've been exploring my options in terms of a desktop environment. trying out different options (Blackbox, Enlightenment ect..) and somehow in the process i managed to uninstall Gnome.
Normally I would just re-install it but whenever I try I get this:

So I go through synaptic and it tells me, to install 'swfdec-mozilla' i need to uninstall 'epiphany-extensions' so I do that. and then the terminal gives me the same error as before.. only it say that 'epiphany-extensions' is not going to be installed.
I try to install git packages, when I type ./configure it gives me the error: Code: C compiler cannot create executable Search around, and I find a solution, install the g++ packages, simply type:
Code: apt-get install g++ But it gives me another error
Code: The following packages have unmet dependencies: G++ : Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.3-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages I also tried
Code: apt-get install build-essential But I get another error

I have an issue with packages. When I try to install any package then I receive error like this one below. e.g. install Lynx:
Code: # apt-get -f install lynx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libperl5.10: Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.0-19lenny3) but 5.10.0-19lenny2 is to be installed libsnmp15: Depends: libsnmp-base (>= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but it is not going to be installed lynx: Depends: lynx-cur (>= 2.8.7dev9-2.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
So I decided to remove libperl5.10 which apparently mess. But its not that easy, just take a look:
Code: # apt-get --purge remove libperl5.10 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libsnmp15: Depends: libsnmp-base (>= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). ...and now I don't know what to do ?
I am attempting to setup an ftp server as a first project to get me going in the world of Linux however when I run the command apt-get install proftpd-basic ....
Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.
It seems that I will get slackware working fine, just the way I want, and after I turned it off and turned it back on, Firefox and Pidgin refused to run because something was missing that was there before.
After uninstalling them both, and then realizing that the package was somehow uninstalled without me knowing, I reinstalled it in case anything else needed it. That was yesterday, and now today I woke up and started the computer, trying to use Konqueror. Strangely, there's no wireless internet, so I tried to use wicd and it just doesn't start. I try again from the terminal and I get this:
[Code]....
ImportError: /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2: undefined symbol g_variant_new_double So I went and used slackpkg and it seems that libdbusmenu was uninstalled too. I really don't understand what's going on here. It's pretty annoying because without wicd I can't even use an ethernet connection, so the computer is basically useless to me at this point.
I am trying to upgrade a server I was put in charge of and keep running into a loop of errors.
uname -r 2.6.11.12
When I do apt-get -f install I get the error: WARNING: this version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 2.6.18 or later. upgrade your kernel before installing glibc.
Then when I try installing the kernel I get the error: You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies
I am a windows user personally, but my daughter has got a Elonex Onet+ machine, which I understand uses Linux. I have tried googling this information but I am really struggling.Apparently it is either debian or mipsel (2 different webpages say two different things) and as I am not familiar with Linux at all I don't know how to find out from the machine itself.The problem I am having is needing to update pidgin, the pre installed version will not connect to MSN, something regarding protocol, so I downloaded the most recent version of pidgin (2.7.3) from the site but cannot figure out how to install it (I am only used to windows machines)
I am running a video script on my server and I am very new to running a dedicated server and commands. Most of our site was setup but other and someone has broke something and no one seems to know how to fix.
Here is the issue. We run a script that uses these requirements

Now our server guy ran a update inside webmin for debian and now our videos still convert but wont make thumbs. Here is what he did.
Now updating libsmbclient ..
Now the AVS script wont make thumbs and webmin still wants to do 3 more updates that get unmet dependencies errors. Here they are when we try to run another update.
Building complete list of updates ..
Now what we need to do is either undo the update he already did or maybe get the one its asking for now to work but not sure which one will fix our thumb generating problem? Here is the error in the log file of the AVS script.
I have just newly installed Ubuntu10.10 on my laptop and am attempting to install VirtualBox 3.2.10. Everything has been going fine until I run the apt-get install command. The results are as follows:

Anytime someone tries to send me files over YIM or AIM when I am using Pidgin 2.7.5 on Arch Linux, it fails mid-transfer, telling me that they cancelled, and telling them that I cancelled. The same computer using Pidgin on Windows manages to transfer these files successfully.Is there some sort of checklist for these issues?
I'm trying to add a plugin to Pidgin, but I'm not really shure how to do it... I downloaded the binairy as a shared dll (.so) and copied it to the pidgin root folder (/usr/lib/pidgin/)... I was kinda hoping that would be sufficient, but (after restarting Pidgin) I still don't see the new plugin in the plugins-list. What am I doing wrong, or what should I do next?
How can I block messages from people who isn't in my buddy list in Pidgin?I always receive a lot of bothering messages from people who is not in my list, I have look at all the options in Pidgin but I didn't find where to set this condition.
I'm using pidgin on both, windows and linux on several pc. To sync my log, I use dropbox. For linux, it's easy. Just a matter of symlink. However, I don't know how to sync it on windows, without manual copy-paste once I'm done on windows.
backup and delete current log (it's located at C:Users{your user name}Roaming.purplelogs) mklink /D "C:Users{your user name}Roaming.purplelogs" "E:My Dropboxsomepathpurplelogs" "C:Users{your user name}Roaming.purplelogs" is where you want your symlink at "E:My Dropboxsomepathpurplelogs" is there you have your dropboxed logs.
I notice that when people message me in a channel the message itself show up in the channel, but I also get notified from pidgin that I got a message. Now my question is, how do I send a message to a specific user so he gets notified like I do, but still the message show up in the channel. I know It's not Linux specific question, but IRC is in Linux culture anyway, and I been googling but for no solution at the end.
I have just found, that my pidgin on a old debian Lenny machine does not support Yahoo as a protocol anymore. When checking out the list of accounts, the one with yahoo is now listed as (unknown). And when I wipe pidgin clean off the system, remove all configuration and reinstall is, now there is no way to register a yahoo account, it is just not listed in all the protocols. What is going on???
I have another lenny machine and I use yahoo there all the time...
