Thread: Sigil install error in Ubuntu 12.04

Let me try to bring this thread and your other at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=218270 together.

After running sudo ppa-purge <PPA> it is necessary to run
sudo apt-get update

http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/02/how-...icial-ppa.html

On the terminal type in the following commands (one line at a time) >>
sudo apt-get update -f
sudo apt-get upgrade -f
sudo apt-get install synaptic
(from http://askubuntu.com/questions/13197...ackage-manager)

In Synaptic>Settings>Repositories check that Software Sources shows that Main, Universe, Multiverse and Canonical Partners are ticked.

All being well this should fix any errors. (I notice that some of the errors that you saw earlier are still appearing – ignore them for now)

Now follow the advice of DiapDealer and download and install his .deb (double click the downloaded file). I've just (almost – waiting for last minute news) completed this month's edition of a magazine using Sigil installed using it.

Like many others I use Synaptic as I find the software center as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Hi,

I tried to install unsuccessfully Sigil too from source

Code:

ppa:sunab/sigil-git

It gave me the same error with wrong dependencies as you. After that I noticed in command line that this software is using Qt5.

So I add

Code:

ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa

and then ran

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sigil

And it worked. So you can try it too. I am using updated version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Thanks for your tips, right now I'm replacing my old laptop with a new one, and having trouble with Ubuntu install, as soon as I have it installed, I'll give it a try.
