Debian Dependancies Install Issues

[almostsurely]

I've tried installing on a debian derivative, following the instructions on the install page. I'm getting the following error:

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:
crawl : Depends: crawl-common (= 2:0.15.1-1) but 2:0.18.1-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

It sounds like you may have a previous version of the game (0.15) installed from our repo. You may want to remove the currently installed 0.15 crawl packages:

  Code:

sudo dpkg -r crawl crawl-common


You might need to additionally add the packages crawl-tiles and crawl-tiles-data to that command, if you installed tiles.

I'm not sure why the package isn't just being upgraded; it might have to do with our using distributions for version numbers. We should probably consider just versioning the package names themselves, I suppose. Regardless, if you remove the older version packages, the new ones should be installable.

I'm actually getting the exact same error. I've tried your suggestion, and when that didn't work, I tried removing all but the crawl repository from sources.list, but installing crawl from there seemed to not be possible.

The exact error:

  Code:

sudo apt-get install crawl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package crawl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

My best guess being a linux newbieb (which can't be right) is the actual crawl package is missing, another repository has crawl at 0.15, but is trying to get crawl-common at 0.18 from your repo. I have been doing sudo apt-get update between changing sources.list.

I can manage to get crawl at 0.15 by commenting out your repo, but I'd rather have 0.18

What is your sources.list line exactly? And what architecture are you on?

I'm using a Pocket CHIP with ARMv7 architecture.

The line in the source.list is

  Code:

deb https://crawl.develz.org/debian crawl 0.18

I'm using a Pocket CHIP with ARMv7 architecture.

Aha, that's the problem. Our repo only has amd64 and i386 builds. You'll have to get the source and compile it yourself, or possibly get the package from debian unstable.

Woops! Thanks for the help!
