geany-plugin-markdown won’t install [solved]

[Member johanw]

Hi,

I’m trying to install the geany markdown plugin: geany-plugin-markdown

sudo apt-get install geany-plugin-markdown

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgstreamer-gl1.0-0 : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.67.3) but 2.66.8-1 is to be installed
                        Depends: libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 (>= 1.20.1) but 1.18.4-2 is to be installed
                        Depends: libgstreamer1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0~) but 1.18.4-2.1 is to be installed
                        Depends: libwayland-client0 (>= 1.20.0) but 1.18.0-2~exp1.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The geany version I’m running is 1.37.1-2 (stable). I could install geany-plugin-addons without issues.

I’m new to antiX and also rather new to Linux, so I’m not sure how to go about resolving this issue. I’m running antiX-21 on a i386 architecture. I haven’t changed anything with regards to the repositories. Please let me know if some other information is needed to analyze the issue further.

Kind regards,
Johan

In your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
is the deb.multimedia enabled and even worst for testing
Please comment this line out with a #

sudo geany /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

In one section it will look like this

# Multimedia Stable and Testing
# Use to install libdvdcss2 and codecs.
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

Make it look like this

# Multimedia Stable and Testing
# Use to install libdvdcss2 and codecs.
#deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

Then
sudo apt update

Try again to install the plugin.
(Hopefully your system is not already broken.)

Afterwards we can look how and why this happened , if you like.

Thanks a lot! After doing the suggested change, everything now works fine and I could install the geany-plugin-markdown package and its dependencies.

As far as I can tell my system isn’t broken.

I am puzzled as to why deb.multimedia was enabled for testing. I surely haven’t added it manually in debian.list. Do you have any idea as to how I might have added it by accident?

Thanks again for you help!

Kind regards,
Johan

As long as you didn’t execute an upgrade while the multimedia-repo was active, all may is well with your system.

What did you install in the last time and how?

I don’t think I executed an upgrade with the multimedia-repo active.

I’m sorry, but I don’t remember what I installed last. I’ll let you know if it comes to mind.
