[fvigotti]

when i run sudo apt-get install python3-blocks bcache-tools

i get the error : The following packages have unmet dependancies: python3-blocks : Depends: python3-maintboot but it is not going to be installed

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

this come from both the daily build of ubuntu 13.10 and current release of 13.04

edit: i've tryed now also with 32 bit versions, same error occurr.. i don't know why but i has been able to install into this virtual image : http://virtualboximages.com/Ubuntu+Gnome+13.10+i386+VirtualBox+VDI+Virtual+Appliance

but i need the software works on a live bootable iso so i can boot from usb and use it .

thanks

Oh, you're right. maintboot depends on supermin, which is in universe, and not enabled by default on livecd. You can use software properties to enable it. I'll add supermin to the ppa as a workaround.

I am still experiencing this in 14.04 after following the instructions in the readme. Any advice?

OK - this looks different:

# apt-get install python3-maintboot

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3-maintboot : Depends: python3.3 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Trusty, of course, ships with python3.4.
