can't install simple-ccsm

When trying to install simple-ccsm using synaptic, I get the following:

But when I check those dependencies, they are installed. I tried reinstall on both, but didn't help.

What do you get when you run this command...

sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm

[aeronutt]

By the way, this is a fresh install of 11.04, I get:

Run these commands & try again


sudo apt-get install -f
and

sudo dpkg --configure -a

[aeronutt]

Ran those, then, got the same results:

I have/had the same problem as you. I settled with compizconfig-settings-manager and the fusion plugin instead.

[aeronutt]

I'd be happy with that, but UCC (Ubuntu Control Center) which I'm trying to load, has a dependency on simple-ccsm!

Anyone else have any ideas?

Hello, everyone. I was also wondering about this, and turned up this bug report, Ubuntu >> “simple-ccsm” package >> Bugs >> Bug #738168 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-ccsm/+bug/738168). Looks like it's an incompatibility with Compiz 9.0. Maybe there's some way to downgrade Compiz? Although, that might mean losing the sweet Unity fat toolbar.

Sorry for the necro, but I thought it might be better to add a little info here than reopening discussion in a new thread.
