Ubuntu Hardy (i386) package fails to install.

[mivo]

The deluge-torrent_0.5.9.0-1_i386.hardy.deb package fails to install on a freshly set-up Hardy installation. Error messages below:

Code: Select all

Incidentally, apt removes quite a few dependencies along with deluge-torrent and deluge-torrent-common:

Code: Select all

teh@ubuntu:~$ sudo aptitude remove deluge-torrent-common deluge-torrent

Loads my existing torrents without any issue now. Had to re-create my panel shortcut, but that was it.

2nd Edit: I should imagine some might want to re-install some of these packages, however they all seem either deprecated or non-essential under hardy.

• fping
• hwdb-client-common
• hwdb-client-gnome
• linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic (not too sure why I had this, but I did upgrade from gutsy, so..)
• python-pyopenssl

I'm not sure who maintains the package, but they might want to make this a little.. Better.

[johnnyg]

if you run the .deb by double clicking it (i.e. not from terminal), it should automatically install all the dependencies.

also by doing

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install Desktop/deluge-torrent_0.5.9.0-1_i386.hardy.deb

you actually end up installing the version of deluge in the repository, not the latest release.

I also had trouble installing, despite removing all previous installs.

In the end, with a partially installed copy, I double-clicked the .deb, and was told to enter the console and:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f

Which finished up cleanly. Working well.

Will try on the Vista box when I get home.

If I remember right, running

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove deluge-torrent deluge-torrent-common

instead of using aptitude won't remove unused packages; you have to remove them manually using

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove

Since you want to keep the dependencies, you might install deluge through the repos and then uninstall it like that, skipping the autoremove of course.

EDIT: ok, I just did that because the ratio problem was driving me nuts, and it's just fine. And since you're not purging the package, everything picks up right where it left off - no losing prefs or reimporting torrents or any such nonsense like that.
