Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Uninstall Due To Circular Dependencies
Aug 26, 2010
Have the same problem and can't uninstall, seemingly due to circular dependencies among firefox, firefox-3.0, firefox-branding and firefox-3.0-branding. how to break out of that?
I'm having some problems emerging things on my newly installed Gentoo box.Almost everything I try to emerge gets me stuck in this circular dependency with file and eselect:
Code:
(sys-apps/file-5.05, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on (app-admin/eselect-python-20100321, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) (app-admin/eselect-1.2.11, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) (sys-apps/file-5.05, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)
I have set the USE flag "-python" on file, but it didn't break the loop.
I have a tricky problem which I could soIve with a c program. I wrote one and found I didnt have gcc so I tried to install it. I was told I needed to install packages. I acknowledged and an error was generated gcc-4.4.2-7.fc12.i686 requires libgomp = 4.4.2-7.fc12 I try to install libgomp and go round again.
I want to install RTAI in UBUNTU Lucid 10.04 in my PC which has not direct Internet connection. I download all packages for installing build-essential with another PC. I have installed all of them. But when I want to install g++-4.4, it depends to libstdc++6-4.4-dev and vice versa.
I was setting up an Ubuntu server for a client who runs a rather old version of Irix on an SGI O2 machine (he uses some design software that does not run on newer hardware). This version of Irix can only use NFS V2 or V3, so I setup the exports file on Ubuntu to use nfs3. However, when the file system was mounted on Irix, everything (including flat text files) was mounted as a directory, i.e. everything in the Ubuntu directory was mounted as a circular link to its' self After _much_ faffing about, I found that using nfs2 in the exports file fixed the problem, and the client was a happy camper again.
I cannot uninstall Firefox, nor can I uninstall Chromium; one always stays if the other is uninstalled. For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?
I am trying to uninstall my LAMP server and my Drupal 7 installation. Unfortunately I cannot find any instructions on uninstalling Druapl from my system. The ones that exist are far too old( < 2008 ) to be relevant. Could someone please direct me how to go about this? Note: I did not use Synaptic for installation. I downloaded the file from the drupal.org site.
I was able to do this before but, I can't remember where I found the link.I think is was a script or something. It would get all the files that the .Deb will need and make an installer.
P.S. I have Ubuntu 64-bit the PC that need the install is a 32-bit both are 10.04.
cant update give me this error Package dependencies cannot be resolved
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
and when i press in details i have this libgirepository1.0-1
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 and am trying to change my bootscreen so I installed StartUp-Manager and then I tried to install usplash, but I get this error which makes me slightly confused:

Previously apt-get has been happy to install dependencies. I'm new to Linux so if you need any more information just shout and I'll edit that in.
When I visit packages.ubuntu site, I see dapper, maverick etc. What are these? Also I need to install complete gcc, g++ and dependencies. How to do it?
i`m pretty new in Fedora 13 and linux as well. I installed a Fedora 13 xfce on an elder e series livebook. Then I tried to install the rpm packages for vlc from ATrpms - by Distribution > Fedora 13 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686.rpm
Quote: could not do simulate: vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libdca.so.0 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libavutil.so.50(LIBAVUTIL_50) vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libx264.so.92 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libfaad.so.2 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libavcodec.so.52
I've been trying all morning to update from a working 9.10 to 10.04 and unfortunately every time I try it blocks me.
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
I'd like to update /etc/apt/sources.list with all the packages available on packages.debian.org and packages.ubuntu.com without apt-get, aptitude, and synaptic then trashing my system by trying to update all the obsolete packages. (I'm stuck with 8.04) I only want to update the packages / install new ones with their dependencies as I request them. How do I do that?
I have Ktorrent installed via the repositories and its always worked perfectly. Today I ran software update with KPackageKit and it installed updates. It told me that KTorrent had to be removed to continue and without thinking I hit ok. Now my KTorrent is gone. When I try to install it on the terminal with
Code:
sudo apt-get install ktorrent
it gives me this error.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install ktorrent Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
[code]...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ktorrent : Depends: ktorrent-data (= 4.0.3-0ubuntu1) but 4.0.5-3ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages If I remove and reinstall ktorrent-data it doesn't help. build-dep doesn't help. autoremove and then trying to reinstall doesn't help. I'm not running some strange dev version of anything. I have a standard Kubuntu 10.10 amd64 installation and my KDE version is 4.6.2 from the regular repositories. I run updates (standard repositories) almost every day and have never seen anything like this before.
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.'

Administering offline Linux boxes can be a serious pain. The Debian flavours now have keryx to make life easier. Keryx is a cross-platform application, which means one can get the dependencies from Windoze too. Is there any similar package for rpm/fedora based flavours? In the absense of a proper Offline manager, I was also wondering if there is a way to collect the output of:
Code:
yum deplist <package>
... condense or sieve out the double listings, and pipe that to a text file? One can copy the output and run
Code:
yum reinstall <paste them here> --downloadonly
and get all the required dependencies from the yum cache. If all that can be accommodated in one script... then that's pretty cool. I don't have the scripting know-how to dive into this.
going through synaptic and noticed that a ton of packages are marked as being manually installed when they most definitly did NOT installed them, is there a command i can use to reset all the dependencies?
A couple of days ago, I upgraded my Kubuntu to Lucid. In this phase, the system reported that it was impossible to upgrade samba-common, and the installation aborted on 90%. Nevertheless everything is working but KPakageKit, which reports: "There are broken dependecies on your system. Please use an advanced package manage e.g. Synaptic or aptitude to resolve this situation."
Neither "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" nor "sudo apt-get -f install" solved the problem: omen@darkstar:~$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [..]: samba-common kubuntu-desktop .....
So i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. when i ran update manager after the install, it had some stuff for OpenOffice and during the update it hung. I powered off the laptop and turned it back on, booted into ubuntu and tried over but it didn't list the updates again.
i want to install package say PHP5 i have all the dependencies packages of php5 in a folder.or say i have all the packages in a folder and i want to install using dpkg
but when i try to install the main package it say these dependencies are missing.there are more than 40-50 packages so its not possible to install manully first one package and then another.eg:
Code: bhupinder packages # dpkg -i apache2_2.2.17-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 140101 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace apache2 2.2.17-1ubuntu1 (using apache2_2.2.17-1ubuntu1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement apache2 ...
[Code]...
now i have to install rest of the package manually ...is there any solution so that i can install it with single command...???
I am needing to install the geda pcb layout package on my system. The one that is in the repository is a much older version, 20091103, and some projects I need to modify were developed using a newer version, 20100929, and the older one on Ubuntu will not open them. I downloaded the pcb source and ran configure and a couple of dependencies failed that I was able to correct with synaptic. But, then it complained about not having gdlib-config. Which I cannot find that in the repositories. What do I need to get?
How do most experienced Fedora users remove packages with large number of dependencies?
I know that the question is as old as yum, but still I can't find solution. There is package-cleanup tool, which supposed to do the job with "--leaves" key, but it doesn't seem to work. Right now I have F12 installed. I installed rosegarden with `yum install rosegarden`. Then I removed it with `yum remove rosegarden`. If I understand right, `package-cleanup --leaves` must show all of 12 dependencies that was installed with rosegarden, but it shows none of them (although it shows few packages). Is this a bug? For years I used Ubuntu and Debian and I was completely satisfied with apt.
Trying to install net-snmp on a VM running rhel5. I did a 'rpm -qa |grep snmp' and it returned 'net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5' as already being installed.
So, I then ran 'rpm -ivh net-snmp-5.3.2.2-9.el5.1.x86_64rpm' and it returned an error: Failed dependencies: net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5 is needed.
Why isn't it recognizing that net-snmp-libs is already installed on the server?
My problem started with DVDrip and I mad an apt-on-cd DVD and installed from there rather than download the packages for my twop systems running karmic. I don't know what has happened but now if I try to install/upgrade/remove anything i get the following.
Code: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libevent-execflow-perl: Depends: libanyevent-perl but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
