Problems installing granola-gui, defect packages: python2.7

[Zuckerbrot]

Hi folks!

This is my first post in this forum and my first real problem with Mint after changing from Ubuntu, so I hope I get everything right .

So my situation is that I want to reduce the power consumption of my thinkpad x121e with i3 core, running Lisa. Therefore, following old habits, I looked through ubuntu pages and found granola. I added it to my repositories and typed:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install granola-gui

It then returned (in German):

Code: Select all

Some packages could not be installed 
(...)
The following information might help you to solve the problem:
The following packages have unfulfilled (?) dependencies:
granola-gui : Depends on: python2.7-gtk2 but can not be installed
E: Problems can not be corrected, you have held (? (as in "on hold" I guess)) defect Packages

In order to solve this I tried things like:
Fixing packages in synaptic

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove

and

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

and afterwards retrying the installation. However nothing has worked.

I guess that this is due to some imcompatibility with another packages, but do I know which one?
So, obviously I am clueless.

Thank you very much for your help!

Sorry, bad news for your first reply . .
Your granola is made for Natty/Katya . . wrong version, which as you have found out, will not work in Lisa.

Python2.7-gtk2 is a virtual package that was specifically made for Ubuntu Natty, it has been replaced in Lisa with python-gtk2. (which is already installed in my Mint 12)

Hmm, that is sad. I guess my problem can now be considered solved, or so.
Anyway thank you very much!
