Issue installing simbamond #89

Closed Freelander12 closed 7 years ago

Freelander12 commented 8 years ago

Hi

Sorry if this is a silly question but I am having issues with installing simbamond on my RPi 2B. I have installed this before on another SD card with no issues and found it easy to do, but on this image I can't seem to get it to install. The problem is when I run the command "sudo apt-get install simbamond"_ I get the following issues which I have no idea how to fix.

sudo apt-get install simbamond Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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 or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: simbamond : Depends: bc but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have run all the previous commands before this from the instructions with no issue (see below).

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo reboot sudo rpi-update sudo reboot

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Graham

sorry for slow reply :-(

I think you need to run that magic dpkg command that fixes broken dependencies... is it

sudo dpkg --configure -a

?

basically I think you have an inconsistent state in your apt package data...
