Qtractor PPA problem
8 July, 2022 - 18:47 — frank246
Hi,
I am not sure whether I messed something up but qtractor's PPA (focal) does not work here any longer:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qtractor : Depends: qt6-qpa-plugins but it is not installable or
base-files (< 12) but 20.3.0 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
All three PPAs are installed, did I mess something up?

install qt6-qpa-plugins as told?
sorry, here we only talk opensuse tumbleweed slang but you're welcome anyhow ;)
cheers

I may be wrong but there is no such package for 20.04.

what three PPAs?
for 20.04 you most probably will only need these two: Applications (focal) and Libraries (focal) and nothing else.

I added the QT PPA hoping to fix the problem with no result. Removed it now.
re. I added the QT PPA hoping to...
the "Qt 6.3 Static Libraries" are only needed IIF you're developing or compiling something that requires them eg. any of the Vee-One LV2 plugins...
if not doing anything of the kind then you don't need them :)
otoh. are you sure you have only installed the ppa:rncbc/apps-focal ?
from the OP it seems you added the ppa:rncbc/apps-jammy as being the only one that probably asks for qt6-qpa-plugins as a dependency :/
cheers
No, only focal sources.
No, only focal sources. Anyway, I will switch to 22.04 in a few weeks and there is an Appimage, too.
/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ grep rncbc *
rncbc-apps-focal-focal.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rncbc/apps-focal/ubuntu focal main
rncbc-apps-focal-focal.list:# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/rncbc/apps-focal/ubuntu focal main
rncbc-libs-focal-focal.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rncbc/libs-focal/ubuntu focal main
rncbc-libs-focal-focal.list:# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/rncbc/libs-focal/ubuntu focal main
re. No, only focal sources.
what frankendebian is that you're calling ubuntu-like 20.04 (focal fossa) that is trying to deliver a base-files version greater than 12 ?!
on 20.04/focal this should/must be 11-something, matching a debian 11 base system level (aka. "bullseye")...
otherwise you're left to either force the package installation, if that's possible disregarding its "depends:" clause, or upgrade to 22.04 (jammy) where qt6(-qpa-plugins) is already available.
byee
ps. again, i'm no debian/ubuntu expert, just giving you some feedback and possibilities :)
