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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
boxee: Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.14) but 1.0.13-1ubuntu5 is to be installed
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be installed

who knows how to fix this???
please help

[tsella]

please try to update your system first, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade

then try installing with apt-get -f which should correct anything broken

i'm having the same problem

Sommige pakketten konden niet geïnstalleerd worden. Dit kan betekenen dat u
een onmogelijke situatie gevraagd hebt of dat u de 'unstable'-distributie
gebruikt en sommige benodigde pakketten nog vastzitten in 'incoming'.

Aangezien u slechts een enkele opdracht gegeven hebt is het zeer
waarschijnlijk dat het pakket gewoon niet installeerbaar is. U kunt dan
best een foutrapport indienen voor dit pakket.
De volgende informatie helpt u mogelijk verder:

De volgende pakketten hebben niet-voldane vereisten:
boxee: Vereisten: libglew1.4 (>= 1.4.0) maar het is niet installeerbaar
Vereisten: libsdl-mixer1.2 (>= 1.2.6) maar het is niet installeerbaar
Vereisten: libsdl-sound1.2 maar het zal niet geïnstalleerd worden
Vereisten: libfaad2-dev maar het is niet installeerbaar
Vereisten: libfaac0 maar het is niet installeerbaar
E: Niet-werkende pakketten:
bulldog@bully:~$

even after updating and upgrading Kubuntu

[tsella]

please do sudo apt-get install -f

also, for each package that is uninstallable, please try to install directly - sudo apt-get install libfaac0

[Bulldog]

sudo apt-get install -f gives me

do i have to add extra repositorys?

i'm using a fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10 (did update and upgrade)

[tsella]

try install libfaac-dev, although it should work just fine

[Bulldog]

nope it doesn't find the packet

or do i need ubuntu instead off Kubuntu?

[tsella]

please try 'apt-get install libfaac' and tab to see if it tries to autocomplete anything. would seem wierd that kubuntu does not have this pacakge

[nwilliam3]

I'm having the same type of issues when trying to install.

The install fails because the dependent file libcurl4-openssl-dev can not be installed. I have run all the above suggestions (apt-get -f, system update and upgrade)

I've tried to install the file directly, but that fails due to an uninstallable dependent file: libldap2-dev.

That file fails to directly install too. Error below:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libldap2-dev: Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.1) but 2.4.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 is to be installed

Any help would be appreciated.

Ubuntu 8.04

Thanks

i installed kubuntu on hardy now
and the installation of boxee worked on that (clean kubuntu install, no update or upgrade whatsoever)

to bad i used vmware to install my linux distros as you don't have gfx drivers support in vmware.

i could install it but not run it.

gues i'll have to wait till next week when my mac comes in , then i can delete windows and install linux on this machine (or install it next to it so then i can install boxee in mac / linux / windows (when it's released)

Hi Bulldog

Good to hear boxee is working...hopefully soon you will have boxee on all the OS ..stayed tuned to the forum for any announcements...:)


Welcome to boxee..

Hey Guys,

I know you got this problem taken care of (through a fresh install) but I managed to get it figured out in my situation the following way:

1) System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
2) Select the package that is giving you issues (Mine was libc6)
3) Package->Force Version...
4) Select the version the program wants to function (Mine was 2.7-10ubuntu4)

This downgrades the problematic package to the version you need, then retry your boxee install

Hope this helps someone.

Did you try the above fix with your specific package?

Same problem as jmurrayil. Tried the suggested solution. Got this error:
