Issue with libbz2-1.0

[valgio]

Hello i'm new here and new with debian. I have used ubuntu and archlinux. My problem is the libbz2-1.0. I was doing an upgrade

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

when i got

Code: Select all

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bzip2 : Depends: libbz2-1.0 (= 1.0.6-8.1) but 1.0.5-6 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

so i ran

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install 

and i got:

Code: Select all

Reading changelogs... Done

That's like, pretty old ver installed, maybe squeeze?

Yes, you should change "stable" in your sources to "stretch" or you'll get an interesting surprise when Buster becomes stable.

And you have to tell us the history of your install. That old, old library just didn't magically install itself on a Stretch system.

AS for fixing it, using aptitude and its multiple solutions to install libbz2-dev usually does the trick.

That is a virtual machine i took from internet. I wanted to install radare2 but git crashed. On google i read a possible solution is downgrading libcurl3-gnutls from 7.21.6-3 to 7.21.0-1. So i tried and i got

Code: Select all

libcurl3-gnutls is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bzip2 : Depends: libbz2-1.0 (= 1.0.6-8.1) but 1.0.5-6 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I updated and upgraded everything and here we are.
I'll try with aptitude. (Could you suggest me how to you it please?)

by now thank you very much. I hope to solve
Unlucky i'm very new in debian (today it's my first day XD ) .

Did they give you the user or root passwords for the install?

Is it using sudo, root, or both?

Anyway, install aptitude as root or with sudo

apt install aptitude

Then with sudo or as root

Code: Select all

aptitude install libbz2-dev

If it says no, it can't, hit the "n" key for "NO" to try another solution. Continue until it gives a solution that upgrades libbz2-1.0 to the newer version.

Don't accept solutions that want to remove many, many packages, or critical ones. This means your system is probably even more damaged than you know.

Uhh, Steve....

It's not APT throwing the error, it's actually dpkg failing. Aptitude won't help with this. It's either a corrupt download / file, or it's a badly written install script that MAY be able to be force installed if absolutely necessary.
