Re: [PLUG] Dependencies and Ubuntu 16.04

To piggyback on this... One of the things I've learned by using the release upgrade process is that its takes at least that long (release upgrades aren't available until ~3 months after release for LTS versions) for the new repos to have the dependency requirements consistent.

Of course, you could always compile these things yourself and remove them later once the repos are in order.

Well, I've sat back and watched, and I think some things need to be pointed out now, right before someone's system becomes unbootable.

Ubuntu 16.04 is super-fresh and new. The repos are not 100% populated yet. libqt4-core does not exist there. Maybe "yet", maybe "ever". Hard to say at this point.

You are attempting to jam the missing bits of QT4 from the 4.8.6 release onto a system with the 4.8.7 release installed. I would not continue doing so.

On this particular machine it has a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04 installed about 2 weeks ago. When running the dist upgrade, I get errors at they end as follows:

Christopher,

It's odd typing that, since it's my name as well, but regardless, good point. Eric, wanna give that a shot and see?

Many times when large dependency issues arise, I'll do a dist-upgrade.

# apt-get update && apt-get -s dist-upgrade

to do a recon run and see what it'll do.

I was recently having issues with perl and cups. I run debian sid, with
stable, testing, and sid all active in my sources.list. I ran a
dist-upgrade and it corrected all of my dependency issues.

Not saying it'll fix your issue, but it's helped me in the past.

good luck,
