[SOLVED] Banshee Won't Install, Run, or Uninstall

[Joe2Shoe]

I never used Banshee, always use VLC for audio/video files, so I removed Banshee quite a while back.
Now I need Banshee to copy music files to my iPhone, since I haven't found another way to do that.

Banshee will not install (via Terminal, Software Manaer, or Synaptic Package Manager), run, or completely uninstall after a failed install.
sudo apt-get install banshee

Errors in Terminal on removal of Banshee:
dpkg: error processing package banshee (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
libnewtonsoft-json5.0-cil
libgdata2.1-cil
libglib2.0-cil
libgtk2.0-cil
libgconf2.0-cil
libgkeyfile1.0-cil
libgtk-sharp-beans-cil
libgudev1.0-cil
libnotify0.4-cil
banshee
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Errors in Synaptic Package Manager on removal of Banshee:
E: libgdata2.1-cil: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
E: libnewtonsoft-json5.0-cil: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

Does anyone have any suggestions, which are greatly appreciated?

Hi "Joe2Shoe",

It would help to know more about your system setup. If you run "inxi -Fxzd" and "lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

If you go into the "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" and search for "iphone", you will see various packages you can install and try. Depending on how new your "iPhone" is, you may have to find an alternate method(s) for transferring files to and from your Apple iPhone or iPad, etc...

See this recent post:
viewtopic.php?f=208&t=253452&hilit=dukto


Banshee is in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), so it should be easy to install it? You could try purging it first (remove completely) using the command below.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge banshee

Then, re-install it

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install banshee

Hope this helps ...

try this, remove postremoval script for the two packages in the error

Errors in Synaptic Package Manager on removal of Banshee:
E: libgdata2.1-cil: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
E: libnewtonsoft-json5.0-cil: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgdata2.1-cil.postrm

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libnewtonsoft-json5.0-cil.postrm

Then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f

and post all the output

Ahhhhaaaaa.....they are gone now!
Many thanks.
Your English is fine.

[Joe2Shoe]

sudo apt-get install banshee
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Running sudo dpkg --configure -a corrected all problems and Banshee installed correctly and now runs.

Thanks a mil, phd21 & minitux.
Have a great day.
