I am facing a bit of a dilemma in my attempt to install Steam on my newly Crunchbang laptop.
I downloaded the steam installer .deb, but it required libc6 2.15 or greater to install. Assuming this was no problem I searched it in Synaptic Package Manager, and although the latest version was 2.13, I installed it anyway, trying my luck. Of course, it didn't work.
So I found and downloaded a .deb install of libc6 2.19, but when I attempt to install it with Gdebi Package Installer, the "Install Package" is greyed out and unclickable. Not sure why.
What exactly should I do? It won't let me install it for whatever reason, and I can't remove libc6 and install the new version for obvious reasons.
Steam on crunchbang is tricky because of dependency issues which you have found yourself. However the community has come up with a few solutions and many seem to be happy with this project, download and install the deb from the git and you should be good to go! any problems post below.

I'm trying to follow the steps to fix Shutter's disabled edit button, and for that, you need to install libgoo-canvas-perl
I downloaded it, but when I install, I get:
libgoo-canvas-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.22.1 but it is not installable
What I can do?
The archive pool site only seems to have the old package:
libgoo-canvas-perl_0.06-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
(note the ubuntu1 version)
Use and install the newer version from launchpad which has the dependency updated for the newer version of perl.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/libgoo-canvas-perl/0.06-2ubuntu3
(note the ubuntu3 version)
I am running a centOS 7 virtual machine and trying to install an RPM package for Security Center 4.7.1. The yum installer fails to find the install packages for the dependencies libexpat and libreadline, however I do have expat and readline installed. I don't understand this because it seems that the Security Center RPM is looking for packages of the wrong names. This link is a screen shot showing the yum install abort, the lack of installed packages required and the packages I do have installed relevant to the problem...

Any suggestions on how to remedy this without forcing the install and risking non functionality of Security Center?
The package you are trying to install needs
libexpat.so.0
libreadline.so.5
but your installation has probably (from what I can see)
libexpat.so.2
libreadline.so.6
It will be difficult to install this package; I would recommend you to search for a newer SecurityCenter package.
for experts:
there is probably a way to work around this; if you can manage to install an older libreadline and libexpat rpm side by side with the new ones; but that might be risky because there are probably some conflicts and updates might not run too well...
I am back here again with one more issue that I am having installing PhpStorm on my Ubuntu 14.04. To do so I followed the following steps:
Step 1. sudo apt-get purge openjdk* which gave me a long list mostly saying Package is not installed, so not removed. A few examples:
Package 'openjdk-7-dbg' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'openjdk-7-doc' is not installed, so not removed
...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Step 2: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java which ended up saying this:
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:
oracle-java7-set-default : Depends: oracle-java7-installer but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Step 3: Despite those error messages popped up I went ahead and ran sudo apt-get update which executed OK.
Step 4: Tried to run sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer which again popped up a lot of negative remarks!
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:
oracle-java7-installer : Depends: java-common (>= 0.24) but it is not installable
Recommends: gsfonts-x11 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So I did not go further with rest of the following commands:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default
wget http://download-cf.jetbrains.com/webide/PhpStorm-7.1.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf PhpStorm-7.1.3.tar.gz
cd PhpStorm-133.982/bin
./phpstorm.sh
I have no idea what is going wrong! Somebody please help this absolute newbie to install it.
On another note, if PhpStorm fails to install somehow on my PC, please suggest me a good software which runs on Ubuntu with an inbuilt SASS compiler so that I do not have to run a command every time from terminal? And it would be even better if that software I can get for free! PhpStorm is only a 30-day trial.
EDIT
Strange, I'm using PhpStarm on Ubuntu 14.04 and ant works fine. IntelliJ IDEs are really great.
I have these Java from the same repo you are using.
java-common-0.51
java-wrappers-0.1.27
oracle-java7-installer-7u80+7u60arm-0~webupd8~1
Let's try to purge all the Java packages from you system and then install the Oracle Java again.
Use dpkg -l | grep java to discover all the installed java-related packages.
Then, use apt-get purge on all of them.
Skip the javascipt packages of course.
Then, try to install oracle-java7-installer again. I hope it will be installed correctly.
To install Phpstorm in Ubuntu just follow these steps
1.Run sudo apt install snapd
2.Then sudo snap install phpstorm --classic
3.Then type phpstorm in shell and press enter to launch Phpstorm

I have been trying to install Android Studio properly to my Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit machine, but I can not solve this very problem. Android studio requires us to install some 32 bit files to 64 bit computers. But when I try to install, I cannot solve the problem.
I have given so many inputs to the terminal and couldn't trace them all. However, I'm sure that I wrote lots of commands on installing lib32stdc++6 and other packages that has been suggested on the internet but every time I got the error message:
[ E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. The following packages have unmet dependencies: X depends Y but it won't be installed ]
Edit: input & output example:
***#***:~$ sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.18) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
(Posted on behalf of the OP):
I solved the problem. I'll write a brief info about the solution process in case anyone else faces with a similar situation. First of all I realised that this problem was all about the incompatibility of 32 bit libraries with 16.04. So that, I changed the "download from" section from the System Settings - Software&Updates.
Select Netherlands instead of your country's repo, that'll be convenient (mine was Turkey before). Then simply update your repos by typing sudo apt-get update to terminal. Lastly, install the required libraries for 16.04 by typing sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6. After all, install Android Studio from the very beginning. I did all those and now Android Studio runs properly.
Initially I thought I would get install Haskell with couple of commands using apt-get but its seems somehow complex.
As I look at the haskell org download page, I downloaded haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0.tar.gz. Then next step is somehow confusing. It ask to install GHC before installing platform but at the same time if one opens GHC download page , it shows some warning e.g Stop ! ..... we recommend installing the Haskell Platform instead of GHC.
Please guide me how to install Haskell on Debian Wheezy. Can we build a .deb installation package from this package ?
$ sudo apt-get install haskell-platform [haskell-platform-doc]
On Debian Jessie, the above will install an outdated Haskell distribution. The latest can still be installed by downloading the "generic" Linux tarball for the Haskell platform.
