| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> Hey! I was trying to install libg2c. I need it for an old software for work. It's not provided now with gcc. I pulled it up from http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.4/ and ran 'sudo dpkg -i --force-all libg2c0_3.4.6-6ubuntu5_amd64.deb' It got installed all right and my software also worked. But now for | 06:36 |
|---|---|---|
| lubot | 'sudo apt upgrade' it says unmet dependencies and run 'apt —fix-broken install' When I did that, it removed libg2c. How do I make apt keep libg2c? … Anyone? | 06:36 |

| guiverc | The_LoudSpeaker - why did you --force-all; that caused the problem; I'd avoid doing that until you know what is going to be mucked up and planning how to meet it's requirements (inside a vm would be easiest I'd imagine) | 10:40 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> @bobish [<bobish> BUT COME on, fine i will even concede that it is "ark" that is the prob …], Hey man, wxl showed you that the ARK issue is a known bug. You could always attempt a different file explorer or unzipping tool before trying version 19 | 11:34 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> Has anyone ever had any mouse select issues for a touchpad while in terminal? Sometimes my touchpad just decides it doesn't want to drag while in tmux in sakura terminal after a few mins. Do I have to restart the mouse drivers occasionally? | 11:42 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> @guiverc [<guiverc> The_LoudSpeaker - why did you --force-all; that caused the problem; I' …], I did that because it won't install otherwise. Here is a screenshot: | 11:58 |

| guiverc | The_Loudspeaker: please use text (|pastebinit) as it allows copy/paste when sending text | 11:59 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> yup! I will remember it next time. Should I pastebinit now or can you see the image? | 12:01 |
| guiverc | from what I can see; you didn't provide dependencies; and thus removal is all `apt-get -f install` could do. you need to make it happy to install, not force an install to make it work & keep your system stable. | 12:02 |
| guiverc | gcc is 4.7-5 from what i can see in current version (not the 3.4 which means your package was from a really old version; to install it you need to find that dependency and dpkg -i install it at the same time (or before hand), it too may have its own dependencies you'll have to install at same time (or before hand) - ie. you need to do the work that `apt` will do for current releases | 12:05 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> So what command should I type finally? | 12:05 |
| guiverc | `dpkg -i` should be followed by all packages required, not just the libg2(whatever) you used, as dpkg cannot get dependencies; you must provide them all at install time (ie. work out what is needed like that picture you showed me), download it & include it in same `dpkg -i ` command | 12:08 |
| guiverc | one after the other seperated by space | 12:08 |
| guiverc | `sudo dpkg -i libg2c0_3.4.6-6ubuntu5_amd64.deb gcc-3.4-base(deb from your picture)` (if that gives an error, you don't force, but grab whatever gcc-3.4-base requires & can add that too) | 12:10 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> okay. I will try and let you know | 12:11 |
