CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I attempted to install crossover_11.3.1-1_i386.deb on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit a few days ago and it's stuck on below error...im unable to correct errors....can anyone help me please

I attempted to remove and/or correct from within Synaptic,USC no progress. Synaptic keeps asking me to resolve dependencies/fix broken packages before it will install or remove anything further. Went through all options i knew or could find online but nothing helps.

I haven't used Ubuntu in a while, but here goes...

First you can make sure apt-get is in sync with your repos and then try to have it correct the problems:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -f install

If that doesn't work, try to remove the crossover package so you can start over:

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge crossover_11.3.1-1_i386

sudo apt-get update

You can also try

sudo apt-get -f remove crossover_11.3.1-1_i386

sudo apt-get update

The "update" command is because I believe apt-get might not be fully in sync with the repos. That might explain why apt-get is unable to resolve the dependencies. This happens with updated packages where the name has changed for an update in the repos, but apt-get is unaware of the change.

Even under Linux, computers can be the dummest things on earth...
