[SOLVED] Unmet dependencies with minimal-live image

berni51 · 2021-03-24 19:53:27

Hi there,
as I need a small & fast system for an older notebook I fetched the minimal-live image with Beowulf 3.1 and begun an installation onto a nvme ssd. Everything went fine, the system booted and I could install some applications (mc, joe, nmap, sc, lynx, alpine etc.)
Next I installed xorg and fluxbox - no problems, it worked perfect.

But then I tried to install the xorg apps I need:
pcmanfm, claws-mail. firefox-esr,tilix, geany, shotwell, bluefie andsh, filezilla and some more. All of these failed with unmet dependencies. Trying to install these unmet dependencies ended also in an unmet dependencies failure.

I tried to solve that issue with apt update, upgrade and full-upgrade without success.

OK, I've read the warnings in the minimal-live doc that unexpected things may happen. My question is: Is this an issue which I cannot solve when using minimal-live?

Hints are highly appreciated.

Regards
Berni

My the "v=3.0" cause the issue?

There is also a netboot mini.iso that might work better for you. The minimal-live is a "full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users". Perhaps that is why some of the xorg stuff is not cooperating.

I think you are right, thx. Will use the netboot-mini instead.

Your sources look fine, can we see an example of the actual errors?

apt -s install firefox-esr

I found the problem in the minimal-live. The fix is:

apt update
apt remove librsvg2-2
apt install librsvg2-2

That will drop the version from 2.44.10-2.1+deb10u3 to 2.44.10-2.1. And then you can install firefox-esr and the other stuff.

The problem is that the build process pulled in librsvg2-2 from beowulf-proposed-updates, but then that repo was removed from sources.list. I'll have to make a new set of isos.

Berni, if your last post is after a netinstall, then there may be another problem, too.

Great, many thx @fsmithred. Now the minimal-live machine works perfect and I can install what I need. Good job!

And no, my last post was not from the netinstall, but also from minimal-live.
The netinstall image was installed without any problems. However I will keep the minimal-live on the old notebook as it is more slim and fast as the netinstall. The netinstall was installed this night on another machine.

Thx & regards
