I am tried to install Sopcast for Ubuntu Netbook remix but keep being told I have broken packages but I can't find any in synaptic or ubuntu tweak. I think I had a failed install before I found the frontend package on ubuntu tweak but I cannot find where the problem is.
I am running ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One as my sole operating system.
I've been trying to fix this problem for quite a few days now and have done a lot of searching on these forums, Linux Mint Forums and some others Google lead me to and have has some success, but am now stuck.I have posted a thread on this same topic on the Linux Mint Forums, but have had no success (if you want check it out at:URL...Originally I received error messages when trying to update involving certain repositories which couldn't be accessed (because they either didn't exist or had been moved) and I hunted these down and changed or removed them.
I have done much searching, etc. and cannot find any broken packages. I have tried many many different commands which have mostly done nothing.I seem to be in a similar boat to this person: URL...
Are there any deb packages for sopcast to work on ubuntu 10.10?

I am trying run an update but I get an error "Fix broken package first".I then went into synaptic and fixed the broken packages and tried to the update but I had the same problem still.

During my recent upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04, I got a few error messages concerning the flashplugin-nonfree not installing correctly. A user named carlee helped me get flash working over on the absolute beginner forum, but I've got a related problem still unresolved.Update manager is convinced that my perfectly working flash installation is broken, and insists I update it.However, the update fails every time, telling me E: flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Opening synaptic, I cannot select the reinstall option for the plugin. Removal and complete removal are my only options, and both give the above error. More problematic, I cannot de-select the flash plugin entirely. It MUST be part of any other package update through synaptic (if I wanted to re-install avant window navigator, for example). And since the flash removal operation fails, synaptic is effectively non-operational.How can I convince my update manager that my fully operational flash is just fine the way it is?
Am trying to upgrade from karmic 9.1 to lucid 10.04 and have the problem that as part of the upgrade I get a report that some packages are broken. As suggested posting the relevant files APT and MAIN Logs from the /var/log/dist-upgrade below.

Here is the apt.log from running 'do-release-upgrade'. apt-get upgrade runs without issue and I have disabled all of the extra repos I had (opera, tor, lucid-propsed, chromium). My system is otherwise 100% up to date with apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get upgrade. I have already purged all of my PPAs using 'ppa-purge', but it looks like there are remnants of xorg-edgers in there somewhere: [URL]

View 3 Replies View RelatedUpdate Manager tells me it has updates. So I close what I am doing with VirtualBox and a Windows Client and I tell the Update Manager to go ahead. But it stops, says I've got OpenOffice and QuickStarter both running. Not so, at last not to my knowledge. I try again, and it tells me I have a broken package, and to use the 'Broken' filter to find it. Where is the 'Broken' filter? And even if I work that out, what should I do about a "broken" package? So I look online. Only references to "Broken" packages are with respect to Windows. Windows is a shut down client, and VirtualBox has been shut down.
So I try the recovery mode on a reboot. This reports I have 15 broken packages, all to do with OpenOffice. I select Fix Broken Packages, and it keep stopping to tell me that OpenOffice and QuickStarter are both running, and I need to deal with that. How? A restart and effort to fix broken packages did no good. I look online again, and this time I run down where someone writes you can follow a link, and what you get there will do the trick. Only the link goes nowhere, so it has been moved or deleted.
I have been upgrading 10.4 to 10.10, but in the middle of the new package download my computer turned off (outage). Now Ubuntu won't restart the upgrade or install the packages already downloaded; it tells me it "Could not determine the upgrade" and that unresolvable problems occurred, caused by held packages. How can I reset things to restart the upgrade?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to install aptitude using apt-get, but some problems happen like this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
aptitude : Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.10-6-4.8

I was installing some packages using the generate download script in synaptic and 'sudo dpkg -i -R ...' because I don't have my own internet connection at home but somewhere else. I think I got carried away a little and installed some packages that have some dependency issues. Now I have three broken packages that need to be removed, but I don't want them to affect (remove) other packages which would be marked whenever I try to mark them for removal, for fear that their removal might affect other functions. I think my machine was just fine before I started to fumble with individual dependencies; that's why I don't what the other dependencies removed. My question is how do I remove those dependencies only using the terminal without removing the others?

I tried to uninstall vlc, sopcast, to install only sopcast, but I noticed it automatically installs also vlc...in other words, didn't find any solution by myself nor on the web.
I tried to upgrade to 10.04, but did not succeed. Error: You have held broken packages.

I have tried running the URL in VLC player and that doesn't work for me so I'm wondering if it is the channel or if I'm doing something wrong. Specifically, NDSportsTalk has no sound.

build-essential is already the newest version.

Is there a way to clean up the mess that Sid introduced and revert back to the Wheezy versions?
I have an old backup, so it would take me much more time to reinstall/reconfigure certain software, so I am looking to alternatives.
Is there a way to check all the packages and find all the potential conflicts and then a way to restore the original Wheezy content?
I use Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. Sopcast player used to work properly, but from yesterday it does not open at all. It doesnt open when I click a link or even when I try to open from the menu.
View 9 Replies View Relatedgetting Sopcast player working in Ubuntu, so i dont have to switch to windows?
I have installed sopcast and its there on the drop down menu, but when i click on it, it wont open.
from the Ubuntu PPA to the Mepis 8.5 community repo, and it works a treat. It would also be installable in Debian Lenny and higher, as long as you have VLC >= 0.9.4 for the built-in player (which is backported for Lenny in another post I had here) I also ported over the nonfree sp-auth deb package which it requires, only for Intel-base 32 and 64 bit CPUs (it's a 32 bit static binary that does the actual P2P). I could roll a Lenny specific package which does not use VLC if you tell it to use an external player such a mplayer or xine; is anyone interested?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was going to install a certain application, and apt-get said I had unsatisfied dependencies. So I typed
Code: sudo apt-get install -f
But the overall size of the packages it was going to install was quite substantial, so I renounced this idea and chose "No". Now I've got problems installing software - I keep getting "Software index is broken" message. I found this thread which suggests I use 'apt-get install -f'. But as I've said, the problem is that I no longer need those tons of packages that would be installed in this case. Is there a way to erase the list of packages marked for installation or maybe there's some other way to fix that?
I have some updates waiting to be installed, but can't install them because of: "Fix broken packages first".I searched the forum for answers but until now nothing seems to work.I used:

Last night I was installing gbrainy and while it was installing I started a fullscreen game on accident. Fullscreen games cause crashes on my intel integrated graphics (an unrelated issue) and while gbrainy was in the process of installing my computer crashed. So I had to restart. When I restarted I knew I would see broken packages so I did code...
I've tried just about everything to resolve the broken packages but I can't fix them. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
I want to backup my installed packages using this method mentioned in thread [URL] but the problem is I have 31 broken parkages, i want a way to know the broken parkages so I would remove them in my repack so when i restore the parkages I wont have broken parkages.
