BzowK Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hey Guys - I was planning to update my installation of Synergy in Ubunutu this morning to 1.10.x when I found that there were some dependencies not met - libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.0) & libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0). These packages are in my OS's repos, but not the versions needed. I proceeded to download DEBs for those two packages, but found they had dependencies so got DEBs for those and found they too had dependencies! My primary question is: is there a repo I can add, package to install, or whatever in order to install all libraries for a a version like 5.7.1? I see the full download for QT5 *(which I'm not that familiar with)* is 1.2gb - surely that whole thing isn't needed for a few grouped dependencies. Below is what I encountered this morning... **Example** One of the two needed dependencies for the DEB I was installing was libqt5core5a 5.7.1 and the OS's repo didn't have that version so found it's DEB, downloaded, and installed it. However, I found that with it, other dependencies were required which were libqt5gui5 (>= 5.0.2), libqt5network5 (>= 5.0.2), & libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.2.0~alpha1). These versions also weren't in my repos, so again had to download their debs and install. When installing them, I was prompted for more dependencies (yes, dependency of a dependency, or a dependency) which is when I decided to post. Any suggestions? It sure would be helpful if there was a repo we could add to sources.list to install updates and dependencies. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokebanshee Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hello, I've had the same problem. After learning that Synergy 2 is back in beta and the problems I was having there mightn't be addressed soon, I tried to go back to Synergy 1, and I'm getting the same dependency errors (Ubuntu 16.04): Preparing to unpack synergy_1.10.0.stable_b36+275cdc1c_debian_amd64.deb ... Unpacking synergy (1.10.0.stable~b36+275cdc1c) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of synergy: synergy depends on libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.0); however: Version of libqt5core5a:amd64 on system is 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5. synergy depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0); however: Package libssl1.1 is not installed. dpkg: error processing package synergy (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokebanshee Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Worth noting that some other users appear to have gotten around this by going the compilation route: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asifhs Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I verified that the correct pkg for Ubuntu installs fine as pointed out by smokebanshee in the previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoB Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Nick Bolton says in the thread that smokebanshee links: Quote There's a bug on our download page where it sometimes shows Ubuntu users the Debian download. Please use this instead: https://symless.com/synergy/download/direct?platform=ubuntu&architecture=x64 It installs fine when using the correct version.
