System : Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 64-bit

uname -r : 4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64

Well I updated kernel to 4.9. And updated all my packages. But now I'm trying to install skype and gtk3 library, and I get dependencies problem. In order to install skype I do this:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo aptitude update
wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
sudo dpkg -i skype-install.deb

Well and I end up with

 skype:i386 : Depends: libqt4-dbus:i386 (>= 4:4.5.3) but it is not installed
              Depends: libqt4-network:i386 (>= 4:4.8.0) but it is not installed
              Depends: libqt4-xml:i386 (>= 4:4.5.3) but it is not installed
              Depends: libqtcore4:i386 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1) but it is not installed
              Depends: libqtgui4:i386 (>= 4:4.8.0) but it is not installed
              Depends: libqtwebkit4:i386 (>= 2.1.0~2011week13) but it is not installed
              Depends: libstdc++6:i386 (>= 4.2.1) but it is not installed
              Depends: libx11-6:i386 but it is not installed
              Depends: libxext6:i386 but it is not installed
              Depends: libxss1:i386 but it is not installed
              Depends: libxv1:i386 but it is not installed
              Depends: libssl1.0.0:i386 but it is not installed
              Depends: libpulse0:i386 but it is not installed
              Depends: libasound2-plugins:i386 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f

if I try apt-get -f install it will suggest to delete skype and that it. I tried aptitude, but also without result. And yes I'm already did apt-get update && apt-get install.

When I'm trying to install libgtk3 I got:

libgtk-3-dev : Depends: libatk-bridge2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed

Aptitude got me that :

libdbus-1-dev : Depends: libdbus-1-3 (= 1.8.22-0+deb8u1) but 1.10.14-1 is installed.

Well I thought that since I have newest library, I can force to install it older version to fix the dependencies problem but I got that :

 sudo aptitude install libdbus-1-3=1.8.22-0
Unable to find a version "1.8.22-0" for the package "libdbus-1-3"

I don't know what to do, it's not allowing me to install older libraries, and don't work with new ones. I search a lot about it, but all the problems was solved with apt-get update and install. How I can install this package?

    Include the output of apt-cache policy in your post (after running apt update).

    Looks like you have mixed testing and stable. If you have ran an apt-get upgrade since adding testing to your sources, you are no longer running stable (jessie).

  • well, theoretically if I understand correctly kernel 4.9 - available only in testing repository, therefore I added testing repository, now when everything screw up I need to find a solution to a problem

    No, newer kernels are also available in Jessie backports. You've got some weird pinning going on too, I think that's the main reason you can't install Skype's dependencies... Feb 26, 2017 at 19:38

1 Answer 1

To install a .deb , you should use gdebi to solve the dependencies problem:

sudo apt-get install gdebi
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo aptitude update
wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
sudo gdebi skype-install.deb
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
skype

Source

Problems starting Skype

When starting Skype, a native 32 bit binary, in a 64 bit environment you might run into the following error and Skype refuses to start:

ln -s /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

Edit

Remove/comment the unstable sources from your /etc/apt/sources.list

Create a /etc/apt/preferences file with the following contents:

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Run :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  • No, this will not work, Already tried, get me - Cannot install 'libqt4-dbus:i386' I think Stephen Kit mention that it is probably some pinning problem.

    Feb 26, 2017 at 19:50
  • @alex_mike Your kernel is installed from backports , Stephen and Jordanm are right about the sources.list and the pining
    – GAD3R
    Feb 26, 2017 at 21:46
  • Yes, i'm already has the same /etc/apt/preferences file, it was on one of the forum, it is not helping me, I posted my source list.
    – ZeroVash
    Feb 26, 2017 at 23:25
  • @alex_mike Can you add the output of apt-show-versions | grep testing
    – GAD3R
    Feb 27, 2017 at 8:24
  • added the output, it is a lot of packages, well I just need the intell driver to work with vulkan, the rest I don't need, so I probably need to downgrade some of them to stable versions, right?
