Has anyone successfully installed Moksha on Ubuntu 14.04? Supposedly this is possible, but I got the following error:


> apt-get install moksha packagekit bodhi-desktop-e17

...
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
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bodhi-desktop-e17 : Depends: e17 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: bodhi-profile-e17 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

thanks

It is not in the default Ubuntu repositories then it cannot be installed. And that is the impossible situation. You need to add a special repository to do this.

The E17 version in the Ubuntu repository is not related to the Bodhi Moksha desktop. The Ubuntu repository version of E17 is dated, bare bones, and missing many modules.Installing it may complicate the package problems if you have already added the Bodhi repository which would include the latest E17 packages.
