<SOLVED> Broken dependencies

Post by melvincv »

I am unable to update my system due to broken packages. Please help me.
I have only one custom repository - GNS3 PPA

Below is the log that I got from Update manager:

Re: Broken dependencies

Post by melvincv »

I have installed HP printer software from
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing

I would like to keep the newer version (hplip-3.18.9)
Will the solution you gave work?
Also should I try the below solution?

Code: Select all

melvin@melvin-pc ~ $ sudo apt check
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnupg : Depends: gpgv (= 2.2.4-1ubuntu1.1)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

The solution I gave was just to restore the broken hplip package you seem to have and that all the error messages were about. The driver you want to install will probably work, at least it says they've got a LM19 version, but I have no personal experience with it.

apt install -f is definitely something to do, too. If that fails you messed up your repositories and we'd need to see the output of

You might find what you're looking for here --> viewtopic.php?f=42&t=279429

All LM 19 dependencies required to compile, install, and run hplip are documented therein.

I installed it from the binary hplip.run. Not the source code.
Is there a good fix or do I need to reinstall? Here's what you asked for.

See this thread - viewtopic.php?f=18&t=273104

The hplip.run installer from HP appears to still install a broken hplip despite them saying it's now compatible with Mint 19.

Thanks a lot. I can do with the version in the Mint repo according to HP printer compatibility.
I have the "HP deskjet ink advantage 1515".
Now, how do I uninstall it? Sorry, could not figure that out from the thread.
Next time I install a suspicious binary, I will ask in the forums :D
I could do a fresh install, but is there any other way?

Oh I vaguely remember that thread, but never got involved with the substance of it. Seems the problem wasn't with a broken driver though, he just didn't follow the installation instructions from HP:
Installation Instructions wrote:Warning: If you are upgrading HPLIP and HPLIP is already preinstalled with your distribution, or you if you installed HPLIP using an RPM, DEB, or other package, please uninstall the previous version using the method specific for your distribution. If you do not do this, you may have package conflict issues or functionality problems.
Anyway, try this:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /usr/share/python3/runtime.d/hplip-data.rtupdate
and then

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a
That should fix you up. After that you'll probably want to

Code: Select all

apt purge hplip hplip-data
and then reinstall your binary driver.

Last command gave an error:

Code: Select all

melvin@melvin-pc ~ $ sudo apt purge hplip hplip-data
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 add-apt-key : Depends: gnupg
 libvolume-key1 : Depends: gnupg
 linuxmint-keyring : Depends: gnupg (>= 1.0.6-4)
 printer-driver-postscript-hp : Depends: hplip (>= 3.17.10+repack0-5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I did go through the instructions. But for me this is the page that came up when I clicked for instructions.

Complain to HP. I only googled them and landed at the link I gave. I don't have a HP printer so I never installed this myself. /shrug

I had some broken dependencies on 17.3. I couldn't install or upgrade anything. After three months I just did a fresh install. See my signature...it comes in handy...

One thing I would suggest, create a partition as a 50G partition as /. Partition the rest as /Home. IF the system fails, reinstall and use the exact same username and all your 'stuff' comes back to you.

I used Timeshift to go back to a previous time, uninstalled the default hplip and am installing the binary.
