 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
[10:40] <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)
 @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
 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?
 @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:

[11:59] <guiverc> The_Loudspeaker:  please use text (|pastebinit) as it allows copy/paste when sending text
 yup! I will remember it next time. Should I pastebinit now or can you see the image?
[12:02] <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.
[12:05] <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
 So what command should I type finally?
[12:08] <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
[12:10] <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)
 okay. I will try and let you know
[17:22] <capra> hey
