I downloaded a package I wanted to install, but during installation, the system returned an error:
dependency is not satisfiable: libffi7
. I assume this is because I have a newer version of Linux where libffi7
is no longer supported.
How can I resolve this issue? What should I do to install a package that requires libffi7
, or is there a way to use a newer version of libffi
instead, if possible?
I try to solve it like this: sudo apt-get install -f
but it's does't work!
when I try to enter the command sudo dpkg -i SceneBuilder-23.0.1.deb
through the terminal. I got this:
Selecting previously unselected package scenebuilder.
(Reading database ... 738809 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack SceneBuilder-23.0.1.deb ...
Unpacking scenebuilder (23.0.1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of scenebuilder:
scenebuilder depends on libffi7; however:
Package libffi7 is not installed.
scenebuilder depends on libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0; however:
Package libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 is not installed.
scenebuilder depends on libpcre3; however:
Package libpcre3 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package scenebuilder (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
scenebuilder
I also try sudo apt install ./SceneBuilder-23.0.1.deb
and i got:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'scenebuilder' instead of './SceneBuilder-23.0.1.deb'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
scenebuilder : Depends: libffi7 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
