Re: Can't install Synaptic package manager.

Did you try:

sudo apt-get -f install

man apt-get

-f, --fix-broken
Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. Any Package that are specified must completely correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a system. It is possible that a system's dependency structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means using dselect(8) or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an error in some situations. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.

I tried that and got this.

Re: Can't install Synaptic package manager.

apt-get is teliing that it can't install/find: "liblaunchpad-integratio1n, libvte9, scrollkeeper"

What version is this ? Is this Hardy Heron ?
Are you online ?
Have tried:

sudo apt-get update

What do you get if you:

sudo apt-get install liblaunchpad-integration1

Note
You can copy&paste from the konsole.

Re: Can't install Synaptic package manager.

This is what I got when I ran sudo apt-get update :
W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Re: Can't install Synaptic package manager.

This what I got when I ran sudo apt-get install liblaunchpad-integration1:

billie@Rebekah:~$ sudo apt-get install liblaunchpad-integration1

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sun-java6-jre: Depends: sun-java6-bin (= 6-06-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed or
ia32-sun-java6-bin (= 6-06-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Is that only thing what you get ?

If that is only thing: Something is wrong with the /etc/apt/sources.list.
Could you put your sources.list here.


There should something like this (this is with the gutsy):

$ sudo apt-get update
Siv file: gutsy Release.gpg
Siv file: gutsy/debs_for_gutsy Translation-fi
Siv file: gutsy Release
Siv file: gutsy/debs_for_gutsy Packages
Nouda:1 http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release.gpg [189B]
Siv http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security/main Translation-fi
Siv http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security/restricted Translation-fi
++ lot of stuff

If you get something like that + medibuntu warning:
Fixing medibuntu GPG warning (konsole):

wget -q [url]http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg[/url] -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Re: Can't install Synaptic package manager.

It seems that your sources.list is ok.


What tells:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin

Re: Can't install Synaptic package manager.

You should just retry the command:

sudo apt-get install synaptic
