First of all none of the answers in the duplicated will help anyone to solve the same issue. You must see beyond the <pre>
tags! He's asking first and foremost "How to install Sentellic fspc package?", the dependency problem was something incidental due OP's own lack of knowledge about how APT works. If I edit the question and make it look like this:
And my answer is like this:
Then is no more a duplicated. You should not close anything that says Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)
just because.
APT is very intelligent to prevent this issues, and that message doesn't appear just because. Solutions to these problems are very tricky and closing them as duplicated is not the solution. To summarize the problems with their solutions that could present this message and that "canonical" post wouldn't help are:
- OP installed something manually with
dpkg -i
and didn't solved the dependencies first. Solution: remove the package, install the dependencies and install the package again or use Gdebi. (This was this case) - Mixing repositories of different releases or, worse, distribution. Solution: remove those entries from the sources.list, and
rantorienting the user not to do this again. (Like thisLike this) - Package is broken. Solution: bug report against the package maintainer. (Like this oneLike this one)
- MORE!
Duplicating a question is bad if it wouldn't help anyone with the same problem (two users have upvoted the answers).
