Problems with package system


Hi all, a while ago after installing some updates, I started to have problems with the package system which is now broken and I can't install any update anymore. If I attempt to do that, this is the message I get in a window:

Code:
The package system is broken

If you are using third party repositories then disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Now run the following command in a terminal: apt-get install -f

Details

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

samba: Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.7) but 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.8 is installed
       Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.7) but 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.8 is installed
       Depends: upstart-job but it is a virtual package
Now, does anybody have an idea as to what to do? My specs are:
Code:
antobbo@antobbo-xps17-ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version:	core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Release:	12.04
Codename:	precise
Thanks

Hi,
No because I have no idea how to disable the third party repository. I assume it is referring to the 3 dependencies
Code:
samba-common (= 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.7) but 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.8 is installed
libwbclient0 (= 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.7) but 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.8 is installed
upstart-job but it is a virtual package
If so how do I disable them?
thanks

No, those are packages not repositories.

By editing your /etc/apt/sources.list file. However, since you don't know how to disable 3rd party repositories I guess you did not have any (otherwise you would be familiar with using them). So, please try running "apt-get install -f" as instructed. Eg open a terminal and run the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install -f
If this does not fix the problem, please post the output and your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Hi,

there seem to be slight version missmatches in the versions of samba pacakges: 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.7 vs 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.8 (as was shown in your original post). Have you done an "apt-get update" recently. Eg try:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f
Additionally, you do seem to have quite a few 3rd party repos enabled. If the above does not fix your problem please post the output of the following so we can see where the samba package is coming from.
Code:
apt-cache policy samba-common libwbclient0
Evo2.

PS. You also seem to be having some problems with your Optimus video, but that is another story.

It seems to be coming from a ubuntu archive?

ABout the Optimus video. Yes I think I do and I have posted many times about that, but I couldn't resolve the problem (messsed around with bumblebee but I think I made things worse, here's an example http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ee-4175461471/. ANyway, don't want to get out of topic, let's fix this samba problem first, then maybe we'll come back to the Optimus video:-), you might have an idea why that's playing up)

Hi,

sorry I think we could still use a little more information about the state of the samba packages. Please run and post the output of the following:
Code:
COLUMNS=128 dpkg -l '*samba*'
apt-cache policy '*samba*'
You also have a problem with cups and hplip, but I think we should sort out the samba issue first.

Evo2.

No problem evo2, thanks for helping me with this!! I wish I could do more, but my knowledge of linux is very basic...

the second this one:
Code:

N: Unable to locate package *samba*
E: Regex compilation error - Invalid preceding regular expression
N: Couldn't find any package by regex '*samba*'
antobbo@antobbo-xps17-ubuntu:~$
OOps, have we just removed samba?
You're right, we can sort out the other issues later :-)

Hi,

so the problem seems to be that the (old) installed version of samba is failing to be fully configured because its dependencies are not installed. I think the easiest solution here is to temporarily uninstall the samba package and then reinstall it.
Eg
Code:
apt-get remove samba
Then confirm that it really has been removed, and that the package system is in a sane state.
Eg
Code:
dpkg --configure --pending
dpkg --audit
Then finally you can reinstall samba
Code:
apt-get install samba
HTH,

Evo2.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

hplip: Depends: libhpmud0 (= 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.2) but 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.3 is installed
       Depends: libsane-hpaio (= 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.2) but 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.3 is installed
       Depends: hplip-data (= 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.2) but 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.3 is installed
       Depends: printer-driver-hpcups (= 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.2) but 3.12.2-1ubuntu3.2 is installed
       Depends: python (< 2.8) but 2.7.3-0ubuntu2.2 is installed
       Depends: coreutils (>= 5.1.0) but 8.13-3ubuntu3.2 is installed
       Depends: adduser (>= 3.34) but 3.113ubuntu2 is installed
What should I do? Reinstall the kernel?

Hi,

ok so the samba problem seems to be resolve. Next problem is hplip. You may be able to configure the packages (as suggested in the error message) by running:
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
Failing that you may be able to solve this just by removing and reinstalling the package.

Please try the above and post the output here.

Evo2.

More than happy to uninstall and re-install the offending packages. SO just so I get things right in my head, to fix hplip - assuming it is a package - I will
Code:
do apt-get remove hplip
and then install it again?
thanks
