apt-get install mysecureshell

I am trying to install mysecureshell. http://mysecureshell.sourceforge.net/en/index.html

I have the package downloaded but I keep getting the following error when trying to install:

$ sudo apt-get install mysecureshell
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysecureshell: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1) but 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

libssl0.9.8 is already installed. What do I need to go?

Thanks.

try forcing installation


sudo apt-get -f install mysecureshell

[tmckeithan]

Just tried that. Same result.

did you download the .DEB package, if so you should be able to install it by 'right clicking'

I did not see a compatibility list for anything other than this one distribution:

try:


sudo dpkg -i /FULL/PATH/TO/FILENAME.deb

Thanks for the replies, but i'm still getting dependency problems.

Have you tried adding the PPA to sources.list? Instructions for Ubuntu at http://mysecureshell.sourceforge.net/en/installpak.html#question2.

I think the OP has that. Has downloaded the package but had an install problem with dependencies.

The thing I would recommend would be to run this:


sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradeIf you have a problem along this line with a broken package the first thing to try is, as root;
Code:

dpkg --configure -a

I searched for the error and found a few recent posts on other forums; however, no solutions were provided yet. It could be a temporary problem with the PPA.

downloading the source and compiling did the trick.
