Backwards compatability from libcdio10 to libcdio7 not recognised in gdebi

[Michael Jonker]

Ubuntu 10.04 beta
libcdio 0.81-4

Trying to install Boxee 64bit (media centre) from the .deb dowloaded from the Boxee web site. Worked fine on Karmic.

gdebi Fails with the message: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libcdio7". libcdio10 Is installed from the Lucid repository, but is not recognized by gdebi as substitute for libcdio7.

Don't know if libcdio10 is meant to be backwards compatible? If it is then this is a bug.

Is there a work around available for this issue?

Not that I am aware of. Hope I can get boxwe

I've got the same issue. I haven't found a workaround yet either.

Sorry. Late night work, big fingers, small smartphone. Meant to say:

Not that I am aware of. Hope I can get boxee working with the post beta release of Lucid. This may be a bug with Gdebi, or just a case that Boxee needs to catch up with libcdio. They are also at beta.

To get the boxee package installer to work in ubuntu 10.4 64-bit, I had to install the following packages first:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libcdio7
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/python2.4-minimal
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/python2.4
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libtre4

After that, the boxee installation works... it automatically fetches 24 packages to be installed with it. I have attached the packages that it fetches as a screenshot.

BUT, BOXEE STILL DOES NOT WORK. The program starts and displays "starting boxee..." in the taskbar, then disappears.

Also, I'm not sure if installing the above packages affects anything on the system.

Any ideas?

I followed tamim7's instructions and can concur that the installer runs, but boxee does not. In a terminal, cd /opt/boxee and ran ./run-boxee-desktop yields:
david@ubuntu-home-desktop:/opt/boxee$ ./run-boxee-desktop
/opt/boxee/Boxee: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./run-boxee-desktop: 38: /opt/boxee/give_me_my_mouse_back: not found

Any ideas?

I'm running 10.04 32 bit. Initially I was unable to even install boxee, but after downloading the linked packages from tamim I was able to. But like the rest, boxee wont open for me. A fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

[Segfault (rudy-host)]

To get Boxee running, install the packages linked by tamim7 and then put this command into the terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfaad.so /usr/lib/libfaad.so.0

Works for me on 10.04 x64.

See http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?p=94985#post94985

"We have added experimental support for Ubuntu 10.04 in the version released today. "

I'm downloading boxee-0.9.20.10710.x86_64.deb now,

This bug seems very old and not applicable to the modern packages -- please reconfirm if it's still relevant. Thank you!
