Installing on Ubuntu 16.10?

[dler]

I'm having trouble installing on Ubuntu 16.10 from the PPA, as the one included in the Ubuntu repo doesn't have RSS support.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qbittorrent : Depends: libboost-system1.58.0 but it is not installable
              Depends: libtorrent-rasterbar8 (>= 1.0.7) but it is not going to be installed

I am unable to find proper packages for these that work on my system, either.

I also have other errors trying to compile from source, I'll post them in another thread if I can't get this working. I'd prefer it to ease the updates.

Thank you!

Hmm sounds very weird.
Did you add the PPA, and did an "sudo apt-get update" after that?

I just checked and Ubuntu 16.10 have these said packages:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite ... chon=names
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywo ... ection=all

What if you try:

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install qbittorrent

?

Can you post us the output?
It will say why it can't install x or y.

I have same problem.

In yakkety there is no libtorrent-rasterbar8 there is version 9

libtorrent-rasterbar9
yakkety (16.10) (libs): C++ bittorrent library by Rasterbar Software [universe]
1.1.0-3: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 powerpc ppc64el s390x

and error is about version 8:
Depends: libtorrent-rasterbar8 (>= 1.0.7) but it is not going to be installed

so this is why depends is missing/mismatch

Strange that the ppa is linked against the old version then.
If the ppa build was actually done against yakkety you would expect the dependency to be against the newer version.
Perhaps the yakkety library has been bumped since the build was done and all that's needed is a rebuild?

One way to check that would be to download the sources from Launchpad and build against the target machine.
That should work and if it does would show the ppa needs to be re-built.

But I think I saw some comments about the newer library not quite working properly with qbt yet so perhaps a better option would be to add a yakkety ppa build for the known to work libtorrent library version.
Not sure that is quite so easy as a simple rebuild against current yakkety though.

Any update on this?
I added stable ppa, and changed the dist from yakkety  to xenial.
qbittorrent-nox : Depends: libboost-system1.58.0 but it is not installable.
I also tried to compile using the source from git, but having a problem. I assume it's because libboost?
Thanks in advance!
