General Support - gambas will not install - libqt3c102-mt problem

Titel: gambas will not install - libqt3c102-mt problem

Dear All,

I want to use a couple of programs that need to use gambas. Gambas ,however, will not install because it wants libqt3c102-mt which will not install on my Kanotix.
I have quite a few programs that like the libqt3-mt and may not accept libqt3c102-mt.

When I was using Mepis I used both qt libraries somehow and there was something I had to do to be able to do this. I just do not remember what it was. I have researched this for weeks and have not found out what to do.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Marcia

What repository are you using to install it?

On my box, the command

dpkg-query -W -f='Package ${Package} v${Version}\ndepends on ${Depends}\n' gambas-gb-qt

returns

Package gambas-gb-qt v1.0.15-1
depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.0), libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.6), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.0), gambas-runtime

No "libqt3c102-mt" required, when installed out of the Debian "main" pool.

Thank you for responding. My respository is what was suggested on the wiki actually for Debian I believe. It has been working very well for 99 percent of the time except for the gambas. What repository should I use-stable, unstable, testing? I believe I am using testing system however, I am not sure.I have some added repositories that are working fine for their suggested purpose, too, such as the tovid one, etc

Here is my repository list:

# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.

# Unstable
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

# Testing
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

# Experimental
# deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main contrib non-free

# Kanotix
deb http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

## Gambas
deb http://www.linex.org/sources/linex/debian/ cl gambas

#xvidcap
deb http://www.jarre-de-the.net/computing/debian/ stable main

# Loibls Scripte
deb http://www.andreas-loibl.de/linux/debian ./
deb-src http://www.andreas-loibl.de/linux/debian ./

Thanks again for your help.

It should be as simple as:

- Start up Synaptic, do a search on "gambas," and uninstall it
- As root, in your favorite text editor, comment out (i.e. put a "#" in front of) the gambas repository you have in your sources.list, or just delete it altogether
- Refresh your sources (run apt-get update, or in Synaptic, press the "Reload" button)
- In Synaptic, reinstall gambas

In other words, don't use the gambas repository they suggest, just install it from the regular Debian Unstable repository.

Well you can just get gambas from Debian as eco2geek said. Comment the gambas repo - you don't need it and it looks outdated to me. It is a good idea to always check to see if the package(s) you want are in Debian before adding another repository.

**censored** Piper,

**censored** you for taking the time to **censored**. I've been wanting to know how to **censored**, but just can't **censored** any **censored**, so please **censored** me if you can. Would it work if I **censored** **censored** **censored**?

Seriously, the Kanotix team, unfortunately, has to worry about getting hit with fines if it even gives the appearance of enabling people to use certain kinds of software. It would seem that German law is even more draconian than American law in this respect.

But American law is catching up

And it's American companies, in large part, that are driving these laws, in Germany and elsewhere.

It's bad enough we can't legally do certain things with our Linux boxes due to shortsighted companies; it's even worse that, due to the German legal system, we can't even talk about it...at least you (still) can in the US...but we've talked all that to death in other threads.

Perhaps it's time to join The Pirate Party. Winken

Did you know there's a "Piratpartiet" in Sweden, that's gained enough support to participate in the next parliamentary elections?

Thanks to all of you. I have succeeded because of your suggestions. I uninstalled with kpackage the gambas runtime, etc that I had since kpackage seems to work fine for me. Then I disabled the repositories you mentioned as well as enabled the debian unstable. I was then able to install the gambas packages easily. My program and my gambas programs work.

Thank you very much for your help.

I thought the censored stuff was very strange at first until you explained, so now I understand. Thanks for explaining it so well and kindly.

Thanks again all of you for your generous help.

Sincerely,

Marcia
