qt-creator wont install from apt, repository bad

[James Tobin]

Hello,

I am unable to install package "qt-creator" from apt because of a repository issue. sudo apt update does not solve the problem

I am using Ubuntu 16.04

The error message window I get can be found here: https://i.snag.gy/WGmTD4.jpg

If I expand the "details" section I get this information:

There's no "qt-creator" in Ubuntu; there is a "qtcreator" package, however.

Which one did you try to install? Could you run "apt-cache policy <pkgname>" for whichever one of those you used?

Thanks

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This seems to be caused by an unresolved dependency on the virtual packages qtbase-abi-5-5-1
qtbase-abi-5-5-1 and qtdeclarative-abi-5-5-0.
