[SOLVED] jitsi installation complains about unmet dependency that apparently IS met

haertig · 08-28-2013, 03:37 PM

Jitsi install complains about missing libxss1, but libxss1 1:1.2.1-2 is currently installed. This is LinuxMint13Xfce. The Jitsi .deb file was downloaded from the main Jitsi website: https://jitsi.org/Main/Download

Any idea what's up?

Code:

# dpkg -i ./jitsi_2.2.4603.9615-1_i386.deb

Are you by any chance trying this on a 64 bit version of Mint?
It seems that jitsi asks for the 32 bit version of libxss.

haertig · 08-28-2013, 04:37 PM

Ah, ... yes! Running on 64 bit. That would be it. Thanks!

(Going to go download the 64 bit version of Jitsi now - my error in the initial download)

Yes, things run so much better when you actually try to install the correct architecture package (Jitsi) in the first place.

Thanks TobiSGD!
