Debian is upstream of Ubuntu (as well as Kali). Therefore to install software-center you must install Ubuntu repositories. So if you now install ubuntu-specific packages you run the risk of breaking your system.

Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.

For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant.

They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own. To receive this Complete Guide absolutely free. Quote: clean clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. It removes everything but the lock file from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/. When APT is used as a dselect(1) method, clean is run automatically.

Those who do not use dselect will likely want to run apt-get clean from time to time to free up disk space. In answer to the OP in this long dead thread they ran that, a good idea particularly in a dev release as there are a lot of upgrades everyday, along with an update. Then an upgrade. The update/upgrade corrected the dependency problem, probably because the OP used Update Mangler to upgrade a dev system. This is not a good idea.

I don't ever use UM as I don't trust it a bit. If you have a problem along this line with a broken package the first thing to try is, as root. Code: apt-get install -fno package just the command as written there.

This will attempt, with brute force to install the package(s). If those do not do it you can study the man page for dpkg or ask on the forum as you have a 'special' problem. One or the other of the above should do the trick.

That is basically what Synaptic is invoking with its broken package script. It works pretty well but when you have this type of problem sometimes (probably all times) it is a good idea to do this without X running which kind of kills the option of Synaptic. I assume you are using Ubuntu so just booting to recovery will bring you to a root prompt. You don't even have to use a password due to the wisdom of the fine Ubuntu devs who very helpfully disabled the login for the root prompt. I know that anyone wanting to get into your box will appreciate that thoughtful, helpful attitude toward security. Just run those commands there.

And hope no one gets access to your box because it is wide open. From that prompt it is easy to set a new user or to change the password for the current user. You might want to put a password in grub to prevent folks from getting to the recovery mode. Will at least slow them down. I cannot fix the broken 'gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad' 1) Trying with synaptic results in Errors: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. E: Unable to correct dependencies 2) Trying apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, dpkg -configure -a and apt-get install -f doesn't fix the package, only the message '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded' is didplayed. 3)Finally, with aptitude, I get this result: root@ivo-medion17:/home/ivo# apt-get install aptitude gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad Reading package lists. Done Building dependency tree Reading state information.

Done aptitude is already the newest version. 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: gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad: Depends: libgles2-mesa (= 7.8.1) but it is not going to be installed or libgles2 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

BTW, libgles2-mesa is also reported broke by synaptic and cannot be installed. I am really out of ideas now, can somebody help? Hi, I followed this threat to the end but it did not work for me: I am trying to install f4l.

It says it depends on libqt3-mt but is not installable. I tryed to fix it with synaptic but it failed with the following message: I then tried the following: Which seemed ok. No errors reported. Then Which upgraded some packages and reported no errors. Does nothing visible. Did not do much.

The command: Only gave me one choice: Which means: it installs f4l, it says it has an unsatisfied dependency with libqt3-mt which is a virtual package. The solution is: Maintain the package on its actual version: f4l. Then it seems to do something, but f4l does not get installed. Yoram This has nothing to do with the OP (Original Post).

You should start a new thread. People use forum search when looking for solutions. Threads should, therefore, cover only one subject so that they will be seachable.
