Package Dependencies Error in almost every install

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 9010 / 2 Years ago, sun, may 8, 2022, 1:12:31

New to Ubuntu. In other software sources I have "Debian 4.0 eth" officially supported "non-us.debian.org/"; etc ... "ppa.launcpad.net" and installing applications has stopped working.

I think i first came across this problem after installing Blender 2.58

When using update manager it is prompting for a partial upgrade.

When trying to install almost any software I get the same error Package Dependencies Error or GPG PUB KEY missing.

Output of: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Diagnosis

From your latest edit, the errors are most probably due to the debian sources in your repository lists.

This could cause all sorts of conflicts with the standard ubuntu repositories - my initial reaction would be to disable these non-ubuntu repositories rather than downloading the public key from the debian site.

Re-run after removal of the debian repos.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

It perhaps also worth adding the output of the following so that we can confirm what other repo issues you may have:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

How to fix

I'm not sure why you have added the Debian Etch repositories - perhaps you can add that answer to your question.

To comment out these repositories:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

find the lines:

deb http:/ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

deb-src http:/ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

deb http:/http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

deb-src http:/http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

deb http:/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

deb-src http:/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

add a "#" if front of them i.e. so that it looks like:

#deb http:/ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

#deb-src http:/ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

#deb http:/http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

#deb-src http:/http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

#deb http:/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

#deb-src http:/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

Write out the file (CTRL + O) and exit the editor (CTRL + X).

re-run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Confirm that everything is OK.

How to fix missing GPG keys

For each hexadecimal string prefix sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys

for example:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9BDB3D89CE49EC21

Repeat for each missing GPG key

How to fix missing GPG keys behind a proxy

The above instructions will not work if you are behind a proxy. Fortunately the webupd8 team (click for installation instructions) have a solution. You don't necessarily need to install the PPA - you could also download the natty deb from here and install manually.

How to use launchpad-getkeys behind a proxy are in the webupd8 link above.

How to install blender 2.58 in ubuntu

Try to stick to the official ubuntu repositories - it will give you the most stable system.

In you ubuntu you can install newer versions of software from others that have packaged the software on Launchpad - see the related questions below.

One such repository is this developer for blender - note - the only reason I've linked to this is that Google has revealed a few blog sites that have linked to this particular repository.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn/ubuntu

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install blender
