Hi all,

I recently published RC1 packages for Ubuntu. Could any Ubuntu user
here to test the procedure bellow:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grass/grass-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grass70

Thanks, Martin

Hi Martin,

Just tested the procedure and got unmet dependency errors (on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit). First grass70-core and grass70-gui were missing, but when I added them:

sudo apt-get install grass70 grass70-core grass70-gui

I still get unmet dependencies errors, but without information about which packages are missing...
My full error-messages are in german, so I do not know how helpful they would be for you... I can send them if you are interested... Maybe I should notice that I have a self-compiled GDAL installation...

Cheers
Stefan

Hi Martin,

I received a similar error on Mint 17.1, 64-bit (Ubuntu 14.04):

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

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
grass70 : Depends: grass70-core but it is not going to be installed
Depends: grass70-gui but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I’m pretty sure I had checked to the dependencies before trying to install things, but I’m verifying that now. Is there any other information that would be useful to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Will

Hi Martin,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grass/grass-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grass70

I also get the dependencies error. But it works with

sudo apt-get install grass70-core grass70-gui grass70-doc

Is there something wrong with grass70 metapackage?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Pedro

first of all, thanks for testing. Finally I have access to Ubuntu
machine, and I can confirm it. Installing grass70 package fails with

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
grass70 : Depends: grass70-core but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: grass70-gui but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

But `apt-get show grass70` says

Depends: grass70-core, grass70-gui

It's strange, any expert here to explain this mystery? Martin

I have commented out these lines and regenerated packages again (as
7.0.0RC1-2). Could you please try to install it again?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grass70

?

Thanks, Martin
