I just reinstalled my Ubuntu system with 11.10, but ran into a problem when I tried to install Gimp 2.7.  I always get unmet dependencies (it's german, so I can't tell you the exact english translation):     Needs gimp-data (&lt;= 2.6.11-z) but 2.7.3-2011082002~oo should be installed   I already read the follow post, but the answers didn't really help me.  When I type in     sudo apt-get install gimp=2.6   it just says that there is no version 2.6 found. I get the same with 2.7.  I really need Gimp. But installing Gimp 2.6 isn't possible as well.  When I remove the repos for 2.7, I still get the same error.

I have installed MariaDb as its supported by Ubuntu community , mentioned in release note of latest LTS.  After that I tried to install Mariadb-client , that too installed successfully, after that its good to have GUI tool So decided to install MySql-workbench from both Ubuntu-SOftware-Center and via Terminal but it prompted errors mentioned below-  Error via Ubuntu-Software-Center-   This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.  mysql-workbench: Depends: libgcc1 (&gt;= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.9-20140406-0ubuntu1 is to be installed              Depends: libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a (&gt;= 1:2.24.0) but 1:2.24.4-1ubuntu1 is to be installed              Depends: libpcrecpp0 (&gt;= 7.7) but 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 is to be installed              Depends: python:any (&gt;= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) but it is a virtual package              Depends: mysql-workbench-data (= 6.0.8+dfsg-2) but 6.0.8+dfsg-2 is to be installed.   Error via Terminal-   The following packages have unmet dependencies:     mysql-workbench : Depends: mysql-client     E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   This one has become confirmed bug on launchpad as mentioned   On the official website of My-sql , the versions of workbench are only available till saucy (13.10) , So how can I install it.   UPDATE 1  Added the following lines in /etc/apt/sources.list  # MariaDB 10.0 repository list - created 2014-04-19 11:47 UTC # http://mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/ deb http://mirror.mephi.ru/mariadb/repo/10.0/ubuntu trusty main deb-src http://mirror.mephi.ru/mariadb/repo/10.0/ubuntu trusty main   No change , still same issue. There is some problems between trusty and version 10.1.10 of Mariadb . So tried  sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient18=10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty mysql-common=10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty   And its output is -  E: Version '10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty' for 'libmysqlclient18' was not found E: Version '10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty' for 'mysql-common' was not found   So the thing is simple it could not find it . though its there on the official website.  UPDATE 2  Removed MariaDB 10.1.10 , but the problem is still same with MariaDB 5.5.37.

Let's have a metapackage which depends on the following packages  Depends: A (=2),  B (=2),  C (=2)   Note the '=' - I want to install these particular versions, not the most recent ones.  Additionally:  B depends on A(>=1)  C depends on B(>=1) and A(>=1)  If the most recent versions of A,B,C in the repository are 2 then this works.  Since I have put version 3 of A and version 3 of B in the repo sudo apt-get install my-meta-package refuses to finish with the following info:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:   my-meta-package: Depends: B (= 2) but 3 is to be installed                    Depends: A (= 2) but 3 is to be installed   If I manually install versions 2 of A and B then the metapackage installs correctly, which strongly suggests that there is no hidden dependency on A3 or B3. This is not a solution for the problem as the metapackage is installed automatically on many machines.  QUESTION: What to do to make sudo apt-get install my-meta-package install versions 2,2,2?  Additionally, is there a way I could get an extended info what actually creates the need for version 3 of A and version 3 of B?

I've been trying to get , but it's only available through Quantal, and I'm running Raring. Is there a way to force-install a PPA from a previous release? I tried manually downloading all the packages and running sudo dpkg -i but I get lots of errors about dependencies, some of which don't look like they can be resolved. Am I stuck with having to compile vim myself?

I am running Xenial 16.04 and looking to install packages to an external drive - my computer has a 32gb SSD so it would be very useful to me to be able to use an external drive.  In a quick search I found a framework called  which seems to be designed to package all dependencies for a program (chromium, GIMP, some python packages, etc), but haven't had time to look into it.   seems to be looking for the same solution I am.
