Ubuntu :: Cannot Install Package From Software Center
Feb 13, 2011
So apparently I've got a broken dependency and Ubuntu can't handle it itself. This is the error message I get when it fails to repair.
Unpacking dockmanager (from .../dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/dockmanager/data/skype_dnd.svg', which is also in package faenza-icon-theme 0.8
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dockmanager-daemon:
dockmanager-daemon depends on dockmanager (= 0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1); however:
Package dockmanager is not installed.
dpkg: error processing dockmanager-daemon (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
dockmanager-daemon
How can I go about fixing this? I can't use the software center until the error is cleared.... :[

I have not been able to download either by Ubuntu Software Center or the package manager. I get: Failed to fetch [url] Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.30 80]
My Internet is fine.
Is the server down...and is it normal to be down for 3 days?

Accidentally removed the firefox source list from the Software Source and when I tried to open the Ubuntu Software Center it won't load. Then when I tried to open the Synaptic Package Manager, I get this error:E: Type 'src' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozillateam-firefox-stable-maverick.listE: The list of sources could not be read.Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.Btw, here's what's inside my etc/apt/source.list file

This is what I get when trying to start synaptic:
E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-natty.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I admit fooling around with trying to install nautilus elementary, not really knowing what I was doing, and now things are all messed up.

This is my first Linux experience so probably at the prenewbie level. I have installed Xubuntu and played with it for a couple weeks. The question is about software download attempts from Ubuntu Software center. When I attempt to use it I get the error messages:
Failed to lock the package manager
Check if you are currently running another software management tool, e.g. Synaptic or aptitude. Only one tool is allowed to make changes at a time. The package indexes are currently changed by apt-get. Does this mean that SPM is active and the Software Center will not function until I change enablement between the two? If so, how do I accomplish the task?

just installed ubuntu on my laptop (msi gt640) and, whilst attempting to install something from the software center, get an error. in full, it is: There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.Under Details, it states:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 779, in simulate return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)[code]....
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

Is it possible to configure Ubuntu to allow a user to only install from the software center and not gain any other admin privileges? I have enabled dpkg, apt-get and synaptic through visudo and I can install from there but the software center still prompts for my admin user's password. Just to be clear: it is not prompting me for the user's sudo password but for the password of the account that was created during installation.
I basically want to let users install anything they like through the package managers but not do any other root stuff (like sudo rm -rf /).

I can get update manager and some application from the software center to work, but several of them show a "no Internet connection" pop-up followed by "check your Internet connection". If it's any help some of the application that will not install, I tried first to install from playdeb. In addition, playdeb seemed to have issues when I tried to setup installation for it. I can't even get application to install from their website either.

I've just upgraded to 11.04 and loving it but, now I can't add any apps through Ubuntu Software Center. I select an app and then click Install. After that, I get this:
An unhandable error occured There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon. The software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.
Then this window pops up:
System program problem detected Do you want to report the problem now?
Now, when I choose to report the problem, I get another window:
the program "aptd" closed unexpectedly. I tried to use
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade
,and errors
Code:
javi@javi-Cpu:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

I originally attempted to compile and install xmonad package by package, and the end result was this:
Code:
$ xmonad /home/adx/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 8 I figured I left out a flag on the make file or something, so I tried the slackbuild packages next; however, the same error was present at launch.

im trying to install compiz (ive tried synaptic, apt-get and software center). However, whenever i then go to system -> preference -> appearance ->effects and select anything other than none, it seems to turn of metacity and give me this "Your window manager does not support the show desktop button, or you are not running a window manager." then i click the "no i don't want to keep these settings" and it goes back. The windows have borders with the buttons again. also after installing ccsm i start it from system -> preferences and nothing happens. it just loads a while then stops.

I seem to have caused a problem with the software center in Ubuntu 10.10. When I pick out a piece of software and click 'install' I see it doing something (CPU goes up etc.), but the usual "fill in your password" window doesn't pop up and after say 10 secs the 'install' button in the software center returns to its normal state, i.e. as if I hadn't pressed it yet at all.
I am afraid this is related to a manual install (i.e. through apt-get in a terminal) I did some time ago (I was following an online tutorial to get DVD playback working properly) that probably went wrong (the installation process did get stuck at some point, when it hadn't progressed for a long time (>1 hour) I saw no other option than to quit the terminal). I don't remember exactly what packages I was trying to install though.
What would be the best way to get software center going again?

On some but not all of the apps listed on the Ubuntu Software Center, I can see the app and select it, but after I click the arrow that points right that should take me to the screen that describes it and allows me to install it is blank. The tabs at the top say that I am at the right window but nothing is there. Is there a way I can make that work?
