I'm running Voyager (Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus) on a 64-bit desktop and the Ubuntu Software Center is complaining about unmet dependecies.
Code:
Package Dependencies Can not be resolved
This error could be caused by required additional software
packages which are missing or not installable.
Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages
which are not allowed to to be installed at the same time.
Code:
The following pkg's have unmet dependecies
Xiphos: Depends: xiphos-data (=4.0.4+dfsg1-1) but 4.0.4+dfsg1-1 is to be installed
Depends: libgcc1 (>1:4.1.1)but 1:6.0.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++6(>=5.2) but 5.4.0-6ubuntu-16.04.2 is to be installed[
When I tried to use Synaptic it barked about broken pkg's. I've never fixed broken pkg's before and don't know the first thing about it.
I get that xiphos-data needs to be installed but the other 2 pkg's and the output about them seems contradictory:-
I need a little assistance with trying to get Xiphos installed.

Hi Ztcoracat...
Gladly. Good choice of software, by the way.

Also, what are the repositories Voyager is using?

I tried using Synaptic and it complained that it had broken pkgs and Xiphos wouldn't install.
(don't know how to fix that)
Voyager is using the Xenial Xerus repo's.
I haven't tried installing those dependencies first and then xiphos-data before the main xiphos, I'll try tomorrow.

Hi...
Open a terminal and run this command...
Code:
sudo apt-get install -f
Or you can open Synaptic and click on "Edit" and then "Fix Broken Packages." Hopefully that should take care of the problem.
Disclaimer: Be careful with commands that are prefaced with "su" or "sudo." They will essentially allow root access to your system. Mistakes could possibly damage or even destroy your OS.
After running sudo apt-get install -f I launched the Software Center and tried to install Xiphos.
NO dice as it only return the same error/issue.
Code:

packages which are missing or not installable.

Launched Synaptic and installed the dependencies (xiphos-data, xiphos-dbg, bibleedit-xiphos for Xiphos and they installed fine.
However when I marked Xiphos for installation and clicked 'Apply' I got the fix broken pkg's error. I fixed the broken pkg's 3 times and than re-tried to install Xiphos.
It continues to say 'fix broken packages first'
This is now going in circles.
It looks like there is conflict between software pkg's like it mentions in the error message.
How do I fix that kind of conflict and get Xiphos installed?
I think what generated the conflict was upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04. I suspect something in the upgrade may have broken things.
So rather than manual installation (having my share of that with Slackware) I would rather perform a fresh install of Voyager. I installed Voyager X2 14.04 http://voyagerlive.org/index.php/live-voyager-x2/
Having said that I'm planning on starting another thread asking our members here how they think it might be possible to communicate with the French Developers that built this system. https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/index.php
