I want to install SceneBuilder software, but I get this error in Gdebi installer.

I tried following commands but nothing worked.

Code: Select all

pkexec synaptic

Code: Select all

I also tried viewtopic.php?t=360373 this solution to install following packages.

Code: Select all

odbcinst1debian2:amd64
libodbcinst2:amd64
libodbc2:amd64

As I can remember, before trying this I had these 2 broken dependencies of version 2.3.11-1

Code: Select all

unixodbc
unixodbc-dev

[sleeper12]

Try:

Code: Select all

 sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libodbc1_2.3.11-1_amd64.deb 

Code: Select all

I'm thinking now maybe:

Code: Select all

 sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/odbcinst_2.3.11-1_amd64.deb 

Code: Select all

 sudo apt -f install

It worked!!! Thank you so much
