larrycotton@larrycotton-Latitude-E7440:~$Hi
I am trying to install the latest version of the rpi-imager (1.8.5) on my Ubuntu system.
To do so I downloaded imager_1.8.5_amd64.deb and ran the commands:
Code:$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install ./imager_1.8.5_amd64.debHowever when I dos I get the following dependency errors:
Code:apt install ./imager_1.8.5_amd64.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'rpi-imager' instead of './imager_1.8.5_amd64.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.
rpi-imager : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34) but 2.31-0ubuntu9.14 is to be installed
Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.7.0) but 3.6.13-2ubuntu1.10 is to be installed
Depends: libqt5core5a (>= 5.15.1) but 5.12.8+dfsg-0ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
Depends: libqt5dbus5 (>= 5.14.1) but 5.12.8+dfsg-0ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 12) but 10.5.0-1ubuntu1~20.04 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.Does anyone know what I would need to do to install the required dependencies ?
Or whether it is worth it - I have an Rpi 5 and am as yet unsure whether the latest imager version is required for that or not?
