Aptik-GTK unresolved dependency

Open Boffo2018 opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hello,

I tried to install "aptik-gtk-v18.5.1-amd64.deb" (via GDebi) on Linux Mint 17.3 Mate. I got an error "unresolved dependency" libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>=2.31.2).

Does anybody have an idea what I have to do to be able to install Aptik-GTK?

Thank you for your help

This is likely not the best way to solve this, but you can grab that package from here: https://pkgs.org/download/libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 and just manually install it. I have never used Mint, but I use MATE with Ubuntu, so I expect we are similar, except I am on 18.04. Another option would be to use Aptitude to try to install it, it does an extra job at dependency resolution.

Also, it is said that it is generally not best practice to install packages via GDebi. I do it all the time, but the reasoning makes sense. If you install from repos, you will also get updates as they come, and also, often times when you use the repo for a software package(s), they likely also have the packages for dependencies too.
