[solved] mx-system-sounds has unresolvable dependencies

[Eadwine Rose]

Today this upgrade appeared, along with firefox. The latter throws up an error.

I'll try again later, see if it sorts itself.

[dolphin_oracle]

just went thru for me. Does it say what dependency?

Literarlly all we did was change what button is the "default".

[Jerry3904]

Came through here just now without problem too.

[Eadwine Rose]

Didn't say which... still not going through.

I mark it and the apply button goes away, so.. dunno what is going on here.


Is there a way to find out through the command line so I can post it here? (without breaking something for me, of course haha)

yeah, just run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mx-system-sounds

and see what the output is. It should tell you what depend is missing.

Here you go :)

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install mx-system-sounds

I am running standard 16-1 as in the siggie.. haven't had a problem updating anything.. until now that is

[dolphin_oracle]

whoops, that's probably my fault. I copied over the new depends stevo gave me for mx-tweak and they are OK for stretched-based mx17 but not for jessie-based mx16.

messaging tim...

*giggle* That sort of stuff happens, it's ok :)

Nothing breaks on the user's system. It just whines about the above, that is all.

tim rebuilt. should hit the repos sometime today. I guess you might have to wait for the mirrors to sync.

Sorted :)
