Hello
Thought I would give Netrunner ago, since is moved to Debian Based.
What is the difference from the above errors:
I am trying to install Skypeforlinux.deb When I double click on the .deb file it comes up with the (Requires the installation off 11 additional packages). But you go install package and it installs fine.
I had another package called google-earth-pro-stable_7.1.8.3036-r0_amd64.deb and it comes up with this error and I cant go any further (Error: Cannot satisfy dependencies)
I read a bit more and came up with this fix for this error:
sudo apt-get install ./ NAME OF PACKAGE.deb
I prefer Netrunner to Maui.
Hope you can help
What is the complete error message for Google earth package?
Without it is hard to tell what’s going wrong on your system.
That is the on error you get when you try to run he debian file. It does not give any other info on what is missing etc
Can you try installing it via command line.
Using the command
sudo dpkg -i </path/to/googleearth.deb>
This is what I got. Seem to work fine with the command you gave me. But I will attach the screenshot of when I try double clicking on the deb file:::
mark@mark-pc:~$ sudo dpkg -i ./google-earth-pro-stable_7.1.8.3036-r0_amd64.deb

So dpkg does not complain about an error. Hmm… interesting.
Can you run
sudo apt-get install -f to see if it wants to fix something in terms of dependencies for packages.
mark@mark-pc:~$ sudo apt-get install -f ./google-earth-pro-stable_7.1.8.3036-r0_amd64.deb

I add the same issues with also
ipscan_3.5_amd64.deb
teamviewer_12.0.76279_i386.deb
apt-get install -f is its own command and does not need the path to the deb.
As far as I can see I don’t see any error message.
I wonder why qapt (the graphical install application) complains.
I guess Google earth runs just fine?
Hello
Yeah all of them seem to run just fine. When I do another clean install in a bit. I will install them with the command you gave me and see if anything different happens.
