I have been away from Debian for quite a while and was thinking of installing it on my video editing box. That is if I can get Lightworks 2020.1 to install. I tried to install lightworks on testing which failed with the warnings.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lightworks:
lightworks depends on libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.18.0); however:
Package libpango1.0-0 is not installed.
lightworks depends on nvidia-cg-toolkit; however:
Package nvidia-cg-toolkit is not installed.
I read in the lightworks forum that I would have to install Debian unstable to get it to work.. I have been searching debian.org for over an hour without finding a link to down load Sid.
Please help.

Re: Which distro
Hi,
libpango1.0-0 is in the Debian main repository but nvidia-cg-toolkit is available from the non-free repository which it seems you have not added to the /etc/apt/sources.list
Querying the Debian archive database shows that the package versions for nvidia-cg-toolkit are the same in both testing and sid so "upgrading" to sid won't make any difference with regard to that package. libpango1.0-0 is not currently available in testing and the version in sid is a debports only for powerpcspe and arm64. Therefore it might be a better idea to try and install it in current stable and backport any packages if necessary.

I wouldn't know unless I tried to install it myself. but a sid mini.iso can be downloaded from this linkjpaulb wrote: I read in the lightworks forum that I would have to install Debian unstable to get it to work..

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian! rms would be proud.

Re: Which distro
If you want to use it for productive work, Sid is a poor choice.
It will take up a lot of admin time and may contain potentially catastrophic bugs, as well as having the potential to break at any time.

Re: Which distro
I've had another look at this and tried installing the lightworks deb in current stable but it doesn't look at all promising:
And even worse:
Code: Select all
# dpkg -i lightworks-14.5.0-amd64.deb

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
lightworks : Depends: libc++1 (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libjpeg8 (>= 8c) but it is not installable
nvidia-cg-toolkit : Depends: libcg (= 3.1.0013-5) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcggl (= 3.1.0013-5) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: nvidia-cg-dev (= 3.1.0013-5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
# apt --fix-broken install

Re: Which distro
Those are old dependencies. How old was that forum post that said you needed Sid---2011?

Re: Which distro
Good news!
I have solved how to install lightworks in Debian 10 stable, which is obviously preferable to using testing or sid as noted above by dilberts_left_nut.
You will, by the way, need to enable the non-free repository first in /etc/apt/sources.list
The secret is to use aptitude rather than apt to resolve the dependencies:
You also need libjpeg8 (>= 8c), which was not installable because it is not in the repositories.
However, it can be downloaded from snapshot.debian.org. I downloaded this libjpeg8_8d1-2_amd64.deb and installed it from my Downloads folder:
