Hi all,

I am trying to install g++ on ubuntu-9.10

Code:

sudo aptitude install g++

But the gives following errors....

Code:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  g++: Depends: cpp (>= 4:4.4.4-1ubuntu2) but 4:4.4.1-1ubuntu2 is to be installed

      Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.4.4-1ubuntu2) but 4:4.4.1-1ubuntu2 is to be installed

      Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.4-1) but it is not going to be installed

      Depends: gcc-4.4 (>= 4.4.4-1) but 4.4.1-4ubuntu9 is to be installed

E: Broken packages

Don't know what is going on...

Please help

Hi, either you have something odd in your sources.list or someone forgot to keep the repos clean of discrepancies like those you show or something went wrong last time you updated the sources.

You could try: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install g++

If the problem persist, you could try installing other version of g++ like sudo apt-get install g++-4.3 unless for some reason you need the 4.4 version specifically.
