Hi Folks

back again trying to fix find broken held packages.
so far I have tried

dpkg --get- selection | grep hold and it returns nothing
apt-get --fix-missing update which told me there were 9 upgradable items which I have done. yet when I run ./install.sh it still keeps telling me that


The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgcc1 : Depends: gcc-10-base (= 10.1.0-1) but 10.1.0-4 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


is there anything else that i can do as i have repeatedly tried the above commands

Edit

Since correcting my sources.list the error message has changed to


Package libboost-program-options1.67.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libboost-filesystem1.67.0' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libboost-program-options1.67.0' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libboost-system1.67.0' has no installation candidate



Forgot I have also used apt-get update --fix-missing , apt-get install -f, dpkg --configure -a

Hi PackRat.
Did an upgrade using smxi like i normally do earlier today. I don't know if that is the best way though.
I only downloaded synaptic to see if there was a driver for the printer that I just bought, and there was. I was trying to do it via Epson but i kept getting the problem that I mentioned before and still get while trying to install the scanner driver.
Anyway thanks for the reply time and effort you keep giving me. I'll check out the link tomorrow  and see if I can work it out. Cheers for now  :)

General Support / A Couple of Problems
June 22, 2020, 06:28:17 PM
Hi Folks
A couple of new problems that have me baffled ( no surprise there  :-[ )
1 i've downloaded synaptic and can only run it from the command line and I keep getting this warning


synaptic:11621): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:01:39.936: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4348:56: Using one color stop with linear-gradient() is deprecated


and the other one is to do with synaptic itself.
I am trying to install an Epson package to run the scanner and I keep getting

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgcc1 : Depends: gcc-10-base (= 10.1.0-1) but 10.1.0-4 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


and when I go onto synaptic to fix broken packages it doesn't seem to do anything and i can't work out which packages are broken. how do i find and fix broken packages
Where do I go from here please

Hi PackRat
It seems that lsb-base is already installed and is the latest version.
I have been looking on Debian Forum page and it seems that I need to install some sort of irc client, no idea what that is, so which one is used by VSIDO and i will try and install that.
In the mean time I will try and join the Debian Forum again assuming I can get past the confirmation jumble at the end.  ;D

Edit
it seems that I might need to load " libpng12 " which is in jessie but doesn't appear to be in sid. have to work on that now.

Hi PackRat
Well being trying for a while now with no luck

apt-get install lsb gets me

reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package lsb is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'lsb' has no installation candidate


I've even been onto linuxbace.org site and tried to get a download from there but their server seem to have crashed so no luck there either,so no idea where to go to now.
is there anyway of finding out if it is already install on my pc, or is there a program that i can download which uses it ?

Hi PackRat

Thank for that and the link. I looked on epson's site and couldn't find anything out. Guess I didn't ask the right question :-[ :) :)

Unfortunately no but never mind i have given up on sane / xsane and found another scanning software Skanlite  which does all that i want it to do anyway.
Once again PackRat thanks for all your time and help, very much appreciated  :) :)

Well.
Reinstalled all the drivers as per website all to no avail, still getting cms errors.
There must be something else missing so all that I can think of doing is a complete reinstall of VSIDO and see if that cures it
