Re: problem while installing apps!

Please try, if

Code:

sudo gainroot

mkdir /usr/share/doc/libavahi-common3

apt-get install -f

solves the issue or, at least, changes the errors you are receiving.

Re: problem while installing apps!

what package you were trying to install before "apt-get install -f " and make sure you have the extras/devel/testing catalogues

i did created a folder for ytcli using the code

/home/user # mkdir /usr/share/doc/ytcli

Re: problem while installing apps!

i solved it.. removed ytcli package.. :) thanks a lot once again :)

Re: problem while installing apps!

Try to get some output from apt-get about repository data

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get install -s ytcli

This is just a simulated install, no real package will get installed, just output of apt-get, what it thinks, will be done.

Re: problem while installing apps!

If you are still willing to install, try to clean the package cache and re-download the package.

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get clean

apt-get install ytcli

May be it was corrupted or the dependencies were not installed properly. The postinst script basically invokes the update of youtube-dl, meaning that must be installed as well.
