rated 0 times [ 7] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 164745 / 3 Years ago, sun, june 6, 2021, 1:23:44

I have done the following:

sudo apt-get install vim-gnome

But I get the following:

vim-gnome : Depends: libruby1.8 (>= 1.8.7.352) but 1.8.6.111-2ubuntu1 is to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've done:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted

deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main restricted

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-security multiverse

deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-security multiverse

But all to no avail. I always get the same error above.

What can I do to resolve?

You'll need to check your sources. I see that libruby1.8 1.8.7.352-2 is available through main while it seems that the newest version you have is: 1.8.6.111-2ubuntu1. This probably means that you dist-upgrade failed or that you still need to update your sources.

$ apt-cache policy libruby1.8

libruby1.8:

  Installed: 1.8.7.352-2

  Candidate: 1.8.7.352-2

  Version table:

 *** 1.8.7.352-2 0
