Title: Offline bundle 0.90 dependancy problems preventing installation of Armory
Post by: W2014 on March 17, 2014, 08:06:05 AM
Dear Armory developers:

I'd appreciate any feedback on the below problem.

1) I installed a fresh version of

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit

on an offline computer.

2) I then attempted to install

Version 0.90-beta Offline Bundle for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-32bit

using the steps outline on the Armory website.

3) When running in terminal, all went smoothly until I received several error messages noting dependency issues.

For example:

dpkg: error processing libqt4-designer (--configure):
dependency problems -- leaving unconfigured

python-qt4 is not configured yet

4) Note: I have previously installed Version 0.90-beta Offline Bundle for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-32bit on the same computer a month ago without any problem. The only possible difference is Ubuntu version has been upgraded and is now 12.04.4 and was previously 12.04.3.

5) Note 2: I performed all of the above steps on a completely different offline computer and had the exact same result -- python-qt4 dependency problems.

6) This leads me to ask: Has there been some recent change to the Version 0.90-beta Offline Bundle for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-32bit which is now causing it to lack all of the necessary dependencies to install properly? Or some recent change to Ubuntu 12.04 causing the problem?

Thank you for any feedback!!

After you do the dpkg -i for Armory, apt-get -f install should install those dependencies.

Same here!

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit


libqt4-test depends on libqtcore4 (= 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.4); however:
Version of libqtcore4 on system is 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6.
python-qt4 depends on libqt4-designer (>= 4:4.8.0.1~); however:
Package libqt4-designer is not configured yet

When i execute "apt-get -f install" it tries to remove all the installed packages, including armory.

I just ran into an issue with 12.04 myself.  I think on a fresh 12.04 OS, the dependency sources are outdated.  You have to do a "sudo apt-get update" to get the new sources for the missing dependencies.   Try that, and then try reinstalling Armory again.

thanks for the reply.

"sudo apt-get update" is not available on an offline computer.

Instead, I searched for and found the previous version of Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS. It works with this version, but not the most recent updated version 12.04.04 LTS.

Oh duh.  Offline.  Whoops.

Very interesting about the 12.04.3 vs 12.04.4.  Gonna have to figure out how to adjust our offline bundle releases appropriately.
