Unmet Dependencies Problem

[andydovey]

Hi, I installed 14.04 after using 12.04. I was very impressed and all went well for such a new version.
I wanted to try out Google Drive as an alternative to Ubuntu 1. I've been unable to install Grive Tools.
I used:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thefanclub/grive-tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grive-tools
It went ok and Grive, and Grive Tools appeared in Synaptic Package Manager, however, when I try to install them, I get the following:
“The following packages have unmet dependencies:


grive-tools: Depends: libyajl2 (>= 2) but 2.0.4-4 is to be installed
Depends: libyajl-dev (>= 2) but 2.0.4-4 is to be installed”
I've uninstalled everything including the ppa and tried again, I've installed the latest updates, I've tried:
“sudo apt-get remove grive-tools
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean”, then re installed.
I've come to the conclusion that I'd better stop tinkering before I cause even more problems.
What should I do to fix the unmet dependencies and install Grive Tools?
Thanks
Andy

After you did

sudo apt-get install grive-tools

you dont have to install Grive again from Synaptic, it has already been installed.
Follow the instructions on Fanclub (http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-google-drive-client-grive-and-grive-tools) website.

Once Grive-tools is installed just open Grive setup and follow instructions.

I just installed Grive, no problems.

[andydovey]

Hi Bhatta, thanks for that! I used the fanclub website for the (attempted) install, so I searched the dash when I first tried to install grive. It's not there, the only places I can find it are Synaptic and the Software Center. What am I doing wrong?

[ranger1021994]

Try this:

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get autoclean

I guess you have 64bit Ubuntu
Please take a look at this site
http://www.thefanclub.co.za/node/151

You need to manually install libyajl and libjson

[su:bhatta]

Hi,
Did you upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and did not face any problems in installing it following the Fanclub instructions.

Try and see if ranger1021994's instruction page gives any clues.

[andydovey]

Hi, thanks very much for all the help, very much appreciated.
I've tried everything, uninstalled and reinstalled, installed libyajl and libjson, but it keeps telling me that I have Broken Packages and Unmet Dependencies.
No one else seems to have this problem so I think it must be something I've done, although I haven't really done very much apart from install all the usual things.
I did a fresh install, I'm using 32 bit 14.04.
Someone suggested that I re install the Desktop, would that help?
Thanks again.
Andy

Everything else that I installed went smoothly

[ian-weisser]

It seems rather silly to reinstall the entire desktop to fix a simple little package conflict.

Please try sudo apt-get install -f
If there is an error, please show us the _complete_ output. Use [code] tags.

This kind of conflict pops up with PPAs. One reason I'm not a fan of PPAs for general use.

i assume your sources.list needs attention

[ian-weisser]

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
grive-tools : Depends: binutils-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcurl4-openssl-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: grive (>= 0.3) but it is not going to be installed

You have two packages that conflict with the PPA package requirements: binutils-dev and libcurl-openssl-dev.
You can see what applications rely upon those conflicting packages with

sudo apt-get remove --simulate binutils-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
And you can see the sources of those conflicting packages with:

apt-cache policy binutils-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
Please show us the output of both commands.

[ian-weisser]

No.
It means you have some non-Ubuntu package installed that has a version conflict with grive-tools.
It's not an Ubuntu problem. It's not really a package manager problem.

You, the user, have told your system to do the impossible.
You told your system to install something that requires version A of a package.
Then, later, you told your system to install something else that requires version B of the same package.
The package manager can't install both versions at the same time. One must be uninstalled.
Your system _can_ use multiple versions of the same software...you just can't use the package manager to do that.
That part's not your fault. You had no way to know about the conflict.

The problem seems to be that you installed non-Ubuntu software, and haven't kept track if it.
And now that non-Ubuntu software has broken your package manager.

Here's the critical data so far:

binutils-dev : Depends: binutils (= 2.24-2ubuntu3) but 2.24-5ubuntu3 is to be installed
libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.34.0-1ubuntu1) but 7.35.0-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Your original non-Ubuntu package requires a specific version of the binutils package (2.24-2ubuntu3) that is now obsolete...but you're stuck there until you uninstall that non-Ubuntu package. Meanwhile, grive-tools requires a later version (2.24-5ubuntu3) of the same package. Same with libcurl3.

This is why I uninstall all PPA software, and disable all PPA repos before upgrading.

Unfortunately, binutils and libcurl3 are dependencies of a _lot_ of applications. The brute-force approach is to uninstall _all_
applications that depend upon them. The non-Ubuntu package will be included in there somewhere. The you can reinstall all the Ubuntu packages.

If you know which PPAs you installed, this process can go a lot faster and easier. Then it's merely uninstalling that one package, and the system will update the rest.

There are cleverer ways, like grepping the dpkg database to find the offending package, too. Let's try that:

cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep -B12 2.24-2ubuntu3
The output may be long. Post it all, and please use [code] tags.

[andydovey]

Hi Ian, thanks for that, I thought it would be something I'd done!

writing data, as well as seeking to various locations of the string.
The main reason you might want to do this, is if you have some other
library module that only provide an interface to file handles, and you
want to keep all the stuff in memory.
.
The IO::String module provide an interface compatible with
IO::File as distributed with IO-1.20, but the following methods
are not available; new_from_fd, fdopen, format_write,
format_page_number, format_lines_per_page, format_lines_left,

andy@andy-eM250:~$ sudo grep -B12 2.24-2ubuntu3

[ian-weisser]

Here is a result of running the most recent command, I couldn't get it to work as one command and I couldn't get the second half of it to work at all so I hope it is of some help.

Unfortunately, it appears to be of no help that I can see.
You should be able to copy-and-paste the entire command at any shell prompt.
What _exactly_ do you mean by "couldn't get it to work"? Was there some kind of error? No output at all?

I don't see much more we can do without more information from your end. We can't tell you what package you installed that caused the problem without that output.

There are also more intrusive ways to tackle the problem. If you want to get out the sledgehammer, just let us know.

[andydovey]

Hi Ian,
When I paste the entire command, this is the outcome:
andy@andy-eM250:~$ sudo cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep -B12 2.24-2ubuntu3
[sudo] password for andy:
andy@andy-eM250:~$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep -B12 2.24-2ubuntu3
andy@andy-eM250:~$
I tried it with and without sudo, perhaps it will be easier if I re install and try not to do whatever it was again.
Thanks again
Andy

pls give an update when doing:

Hi Ubi, thanks for your time. I've no idea if I'm dealing with dependency issues! I still can't get the thing to work. This weekend I'll re install 14.04 and try not to mess up again!

Andy

[andydovey]

As I'm going to re install, I'll mark this as solved.

[ian-weisser]

Generally you don't need to reinstall to solve such trivial issues as a non-Ubuntu package preventing subsequent package manager actions.
And a reinstall won't help if you happen to promptly reinstall the same non-Ubuntu package - the same problem will recur.

It's usually *much* easier and faster to simply identify the troublesome package and remove it.
Considering all the PPA and other Non-Ubuntu repositories that you are trying to update from, and that you don't seem to know what you are installing from them, I'm not surprised you are having problems. I suspect you have the same again sooner or later.

Advice: Do the most basic admin work. Simply write down what Non-Ubuntu software you installed, and when. When the package manager complains, work your way backwards through the list until the package manager works again. The tiniest text file and 10 seconds can save you an hour of reinstalling.
