libopencv-dev ?!

[Motion]

Hi !

I tried to install libopencv-dev with no luck : it seems to have a bunch of lacking/broken dependencies.

What is wrong with it ?

Cheers,

Motion

this is very little help to try to help you.
you need to try harder give all the possible information related to your problem and then it will make life easier to anyone willing to help.

anyway:
- what is the full error output?
- what is the output of inxi -r

Hi zerozero,

Here it is :

and the error output :

It seems to be a kind of circular dependencies problem.

Does these packages install fine for other people ?

i'm really short of time right now to hunt the issue down but i would say that one of the dependencies is not available in latest (later tonight i will look into it closer).
in the meantime it would install clean in testing (what means that will install as well in the new UP5 that is being tested atm viewtopic.php?f=187&t=109005&start=0 )

Things are going totally wrong : first time a system get me on this kind of road.

I changed latest to incoming, went for total upgrade and boom, everything is quite broken.
Cinnamon is gone.

i am good for a system reinstall. I might have messed up the LMDE logic.

I thought everything was about to get simple (coming from geeky distros), I was wrong.

[zerozero]

Motion, exactly what repos you used? did you added the new incoming to packages.linuxmint
read very carefully the first post on that topic

[Motion]

Hi zerozero,

My bad, yesterday I was a bit upset. Now I slept, I can take it on.

I replaced all the latest sentences of the repos with incoming. I shoud have never done that I think.
This system was installed two days ago, it involves nothing to wipe it out.


zerozero, what is your opinion concerning the libopencv-dev ?

Cheers,

Motion

[Motion]

Ahah !

I am back.

Reinstalled and now, everything is ok.

Libopencv-dev will install flawlessly. I am responsible for what happened to me : i played with sid repos and came back with other ones, which is the straight way to mess the whole thing up.

Trial and error.

I have to stick myself with the new logic which differs a lot from Arch and gentoo.

Many thanks 00, you can choose your appending number, you saved the queen.

glad you're back on business
