problem while installing Fsearch

[Member molotoov]

I got this error while installing Fsearch using this code

$ sudo apt install git build-essential automake autoconf libtool pkg-config intltool autoconf-archive libpcre3-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxml2-utils
$ git clone https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch.git
$ cd fsearch
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make && sudo make install

The Error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.31-13) but 2.31-13+deb11u2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

any help is much appreciated

Please tell us on which antiX are you trying to install the software.
I just made a test-install on antiX21-full and don’t see the error.

I would bet my computer you installed a package from either a different source that brought different version libraries and now you have mixed library versions.

Please, check versions available for libc6
apt policy libc6-dev libc6
And see if you have an installed version with a missing source.

You will have to force install the other version of the packages.

Not sure if this is really solved, antiX21 comes with libc6 and libc6-dev from debian bullseye, so libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2
There must have happened something unusual on your system.

I had the same problem, and it is not related to Fsearch (I actually couldn’t install many development packages because of this).
This is what I did to fix it: Go to Control Centre -> Software -> Repo Manager; in the “Debian repos” tab, hit “Select fastest Debian repo for me”. This changed the default repo to another one. Then I updated the system, which replaced libc6 with libc6++deb11u2, so no more unmet dependencies.
