Unresolvable dependency when installing python-mlt5 on Ubuntu 14.04

[xxlray]

My latest Ubuntu 14.04 update brought up an unresolvable dependency when trying to install python-mlt5


sudo apt-get install python-mlt5 -f
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-mlt5 : Depends: libmlt++3 but it is not going to be installed


sudo apt-get install libmlt++3
...
sudo apt-get install python-mlt5 -f
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-mlt5 : Depends: libmlt5 but it is not going to be installed
...
sudo apt-get install libmlt5
...
Removing libmlt++3 (0.9.0-3) ...
Removing libmlt6 (0.9.0-3) ...
...
sudo apt-get install python-mlt5 -f
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-mlt5 : Depends: libmlt++3 but it is not going to be installed

Any idea how to get this fixed???

The python-mlt5 packages seems to have been replaced by the python-mlt package after 13.10.
14.04 does not have a python-mlt5 package in the Ubuntu repositories.

Try installing python-mlt instead of python-mlt5

Thanks for the answer. Installation of python-mlt worked. Unfortunately the application that needs mlt (Openshot) still doesn't work. I will have to ask them.

Are you installing from a PPA or other non-Ubuntu repository?

In the 14.04 Ubuntu repos:

$ apt-cache show openshot | grep Depends
Depends: gtk2-engines-pixbuf, fontconfig, librsvg2-common, melt, python-gtk2, python-httplib2, python-imaging, python-mlt | python-mlt5 | python-mlt2, python-pygoocanvas, python-xdg, python (>= 2.5), python-support (>= 0.90.0)
'|' means 'or', so any of those three packages should work.
Of those three, only python-mlt is in the Ubuntu repos. But that should be adequate to install.

Openshot is used from the official bazaar repository and mlt from the Ubuntu repositories.

Openshot is used from the official bazaar repository and mlt from the Ubuntu repositories.

Install from the software center.

The Openshot version from the Ubuntu repository is unfortunately outdated and unstable and the bazaar version worked right before the update.
