Package Installer Error

Post by Ellume »

I'm a major newb to ubuntu and posted a similar thread on their forums.

I'm trying to install the new version of love in ubuntu 10.10 but when it runs the package installer it gives me the error:

Code: Select all

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libmodplug1
I went to look up libmodplug and I installed "libmodplug-dev" and I already have "libmodplug0c2" installed but can't see any "libmodplug1". I still get the same error so I'm kinda clueless as what to do next.

I had the same problem with the last version. What wound up working was just adding the PPA to my sources list and getting it through there. (I also wound up compiling it, but the insane list of development libraries to download seems like a bit much to any who don't want to modify LÖVE.)

So I added the PPA, updated, and installed using:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install love
and it looks like it is all good to go :ultraglee: Unfortunately the older version game I grabbed off the love wiki doesn't work lol. Got another game that was 0.7.0 and it works fine though.

Thanks for you help :awesome:

EDIT: Someone on the ubuntu forum also pointed me at http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libmodplug1 as a place to get the "libmodplug1"

It seems as if you were using the 10.04 deb instead of the 10.10 one?

I was using the 10.10 deb, at least that was my intention and the filename supports that claim. I used "love_0.7.0~10.10ppa1_i386.deb" downloaded from the home page.

That's weird.. because I get the deb by manually downloading it from the ppa..

Someone over at the ubuntu forums also said they have 10.10 and can see libmodplug1 in the main repository. So maybe something is funny with my system, I'm just too much of a newb still to know what.

Now wait a second, 0c2 was for 10.04 or for pre-release versions of 10.10, are you still running one of those?

So after a quick lookup of what the command to check version was I used:

Code: Select all

lsb_release -a
and the result:

Code: Select all

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:	10.04
Codename:	lucid
So yeah, kudos to you knowing what your doing! I'm learning lol, I will get there one day :P I totally thought I had the most recent version though :shock:
