Hello,
I've tried to install flight gear through sudo apt-get install flightgear et through synaptic both time I get the same error of missing dependencies
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ ... 1_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.200 80]
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ ... .2_all.deb

I visited the security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/etc... to find out that the libavdevice53_0.8.4-0ubuntu0.12.10.1_i386.deb wasn't present (hence the error) but other versions of that package were present. Same for all 3 missing packages.
I'm sure it is not a mint problem but maybe someone has a solution for me
Thanks

Re: Flightgear dependencies
The flightgear package doesn't depend explicitly on an obsoleted version, at least not on Linux Mint 14. Have you refreshed your package indexes? Software Manager and Update Manager do that for you; from the terminal you need to remember to do that yourself (no hand-holding here
). I'm not sure if Synaptic does this at startup, but it has a "Reload" button that will refresh the package indexes. Or from the terminal:
If that doesn't work, please share the output of:
And share your Linux Mint version.

Code: Select all
apt update
Code: Select all
apt-get install --simulate flightgear

Re: Flightgear dependencies
Thank you xenopeek. The solution via the terminal worked as advertised. Apparently Synaptic doesn't auto refresh the indexes.
Cheers
