libxmlrpc-core-c3 issue breaking FLDIGI

Post by stormadvisor »

All,
I have been running Julia for a while now. I am trying to install Fldigi, an amateur radio digital communications program. Each time I try to install I get the same broken package: libxmlrpc-core-c3_1.06.27-1ubuntu6.1_i386.deb

Here is my last try installing via command line

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install fldigi

I have tried several times in many ways and get the same issue.
I have had this run successfully on other versions.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what it would be.

try this

Code: Select all

apt-get autoremove fidigi

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoclean

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install fidigi
Hopefully removing the package, doing a little cleanup and reinstalling it will do the trick

Well tried that and it didn't work. Maybe it is a bug in Fldigi on Julia.
I stumped the guys on the Fldigi list also.
I was hoping another set of eyes on it would help.

Thanks for trying.
