Issue with apt-get install -f

Post by 0x2620 »

I was trying to install dependencies to build VBA-M because the VBA that exists in the repos doesn't recognize my usb controller and the VBA-M debs I installed crashed. When I ran cmake it told me I needed wxWidgets, so I added wxWidgets by following the instructions on their site. One of the dependencies is a version of libstdc++6 greater than 5.2-something. When I installed a deb of this it told me that I had broken dependencies and advised me to try apt-get install -f.

Here's the output of apt-get install -f:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get install -f

I want to keep half of these programs.

I gave up compiling VBA-M and I just want this problem to go away. Is there any way I can resolve this issue without having to reinstall libreoffice and whatever else will be broken by this?

You should install the libstdc++6 version that goes with your operating system (with which all the software on your operating system has been compiled and tested). Probably quickest to just download the .deb file from the repository and install it manually.

If you're on Linux Mint 17.x, download the amd64 .deb file from here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libstdc++6

If you're on Linux Mint 18.x, download the amd64 .deb file from here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libstdc++6

After installing that run sudo apt-get install -f again to see if all issues have gone away.
