#55 Debian Packages (DEB) have dependency issues in Ubuntu 16.10

[M-C]

I added to a similar RPM post...

I have never had this issue before... but sounds like this is a case of the DEB being built and not using >= type settings for versions... and the versions listed are no longer in the repositories.

The output from the DPKG -i install (GDEBI was just shooting me the next in line... and after a few... I gave up).

I went through synaptic to cross check... and it boils down to the following (unless I have missed one because of my earlier attempt to find and install versions required). Here is the List of package versions in UbuntuGnome 16.10 in the following format: Package [version if not apparent in package name] (dependency required in NixNote)

libpoppler61 (v 28-52 needed)
libavcodec-extra57 (v 53 - 56 needed)
libavformat57 (53-56 needed)
libswscale4 (v2 - 3 needed)
libopencv-highgui2.4-deb0 [v2.4.9.1+dfsg-2.1] (v.2.4 or 2.4v5 needed)

Again, perhaps you need to check the debian package format for requirements and unse an annotation of >= the minimum version fo the library you needed... might somewhat future proof your debs. Just my suspicions.

I had the same problem with Beta 10, but I am currently trying to install Beta 8, and I suspect I will have the same problem working on down... so stopping here for now.

The problem I'm running into is that some of these dependencies don't seem to be different versions of the same package, but rather a new library. For example, libpoppler61 doesn't appear to be a newer version of libpoppler52, but a separate package. I don't know how to code the deb so that either are acceptable without coding them individually. If you know how to wildcard them or a way around it I'd appreciate the help.

I'm working on cleaning some of these up. For example, libpoppler is also required by libpoppler-qt and that doesn't seem to have the multiple library issue, so it should help. I'm also separating out some of the things like hunspell & opencv into separate plungins so the base product isn't impacted by some of them.

In the meantime, you can download the tar.gz version. It has an install.sh file that will copy the files to the same location as the deb and should allow you to run. Alternatively, you can build it from the source. There are instructions in the help document.

Randy,
I am so sorry that I some how missed this email.
Bottom line up front (BLUF):  I downloaded Beta 11 and it installed
perfectly without issue.
I only found this message because my schedule cleared up a bit and was
going to go back to seeing if I could help out on the dependency issue
when I noticed that a Beta 11 was released on line... downloaded and
installed without hitch.   I then wanted to let you know that I was
successful and saw I had other emails from you that I missed.  Mia
Culpa!!!
Happy New Year and Many Thanks for such a wonderful project!  Big Fan
of it!  Even more so with the limits that Evernote placed on
devices.  I will now try it on my Mac partition (mainly run Linux)...
just for that reason!
Very Respectfully,Arick
