#261 Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.

[Marco]

I assume that means I need to upgrade the version of wxWidgets that comes with my Ubuntu 10.04?

When googled for libwxgtk2.8-0, I see this (at: http://wxwidgets.org/downloads/#latest_stable)
wxGTK Debian and Ubuntu packages for 2.8.11 are available. To use them you will need to make a small change to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Information about this change, the available packages, platforms, and releases is documented on this page in the wxPython wiki

, which gets a little hairy, so I went to the Ubuntu Software Center, and got wxwidgets updated from there, and then I found pwsafe in usr/bin and was able to read my old safe I created on MS-Windows.

Since this might be intimidating for newbies like me, I am willing to try to document this. Is there a good way for me to contribute documentation? Maybe a wiki?

I think that wxwidgets (libwxgtk2.8-0) just isn't installed by default on Ubuntu. When the pwsafe .,deb will be part of the repository, such dependencies will be resolved automatically. For now, you have to install libwxgtk by yourself, as you ended up doing.

If you could go over the README.LINUX file and clarify this, that would be great. Either send me the result directly (ronys at users dot sf dot net) or attach it to this support request.

Thanks,

Maybe this is too geared to newbies (who never read READMEs), but this is what I would add:

Troubleshooting:

If you download passwordsafe-ubuntu-0.1-1.deb to Ubuntu 10.04, and open it with GDebi Package Installer, the Package Installer may give an Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.10.1-0ubuntu1.2). If so, click on Applications, Ubuntu Software Center, search for wxw, select wxFormBuilder and Use This Source. Then click on Install - Free. Afterwards, you should see a green check box next to Installed. Then close your Package Installer window, and double-click again on passwordsafe-ubuntu-0.1-1.deb in your Firefox Downloads menu. This time the package installer comes up again and you can Install Package. While you cannot simply double-click on an existing .psafe3 file, you can go to usr/bin/ and double-click on pwsafe. There, it will look for your .psafe3 or .dat files by default. Also, in your Nautilus File Browser, you can right click on pwsafe and Copy to Desktop.

Nice! I never would have gotten the newbie perspective otherwise. I've incorporated your text in the README.LINUX file.

Thanks,
