2042 unmet dependencies.

[Texlee]

Hi, in my Debian 12.5 I gave the

Code: Select all

apt-cache unmet

command and it returns me 2042 unmet dependencies with 2024 packages installed. Everything seems to be working fine. You say something is wrong? Thank you

I think what you are seeing includes Suggested and Recommended dependencies which are not hard dependencies.

How can I see only hard unmet dependencies?
In my MX linux fresh installation I've more than 5k unmet dependencies.

Not an expert here, but you can definitely see which packages are declared as "Depends":

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache unmet | grep -i depends

I would let the package manager handle this though. One of my missing "dependencies" is only on Trixie and Sid, and I am on Bookworm. You said your system is working? So is mine. I'm not about to go install an entire suite of compilers and libraries for Steam (Steam isn't even on my system).

Try

Code: Select all

# apt-get check

This should check for (hard) broken dependencies and other package related issues.

If your system is working fine, why worry?

Ok thanks! Because After seeing that result I thought there was something get wrong also if I didn't notice anything..

The command returns me that it's all ok.
Evidently, as told by bbbhltz, that number is for Suggested and Recommended dependencies which are not installed.
