What happens when you do it in terminal? Copy/paste the output..

no i didn't......i didn't solve it.......

As an example, i couldn't get the app "Moodlight" to install successfully at all. It kept showing the error: "libsdl-ttf2.0(>=2.0.9) missing", i tried using the apt-get install command in X-terminal and it downloaded the required files fine but it still doesn't work....


If that was confusing to read then i'll summarize this in simple steps:

1. I used the "Backups" app to restore the "Application List", i.e it downloads all the apps i ever downloaded, and attempts to reinstall them. On the first run, quite a few failed to install properly, because they lack or are missing certain application packages or important components.

2. After the first run is finished, i.e after the whole process is done, I then repeated step 1 because i want to try and get the failed apps to reinstall again, hoping that they'll work again this time. SOME, managed to install fine this time, but some still failed.

3. As an example, the app "Moodlight" failed to install in both tries. It kept showing the error: "Application packages missing: libsdl-ttf2.0(>=2.0.9)".

4. I then attempted to use X-Terminal to install the "libsdl-ttf2.0" package by entering *something like this*:

sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0


*note, this isn't exactly what i entered because i forgot. I entered commands similar to this as i found it on some website which i unfortunately didn't bookmark.


As for the output, it installs successfully and didn't give me any errors, however i still couldn't install Moodlight properly.


Lastly, i can't copy and paste the errors produced by the application manager, i can only write them down, and i'll try and do that by restoring the apps for the 3rd time later on. For the X-Terminal, i can, but it didn't give me errors, it installed fine but application manager just keeps showing the same error.





*Update*:

And now, here's another weird problem. I went into Application Manager, and then "Uninstall", and there it is, the app "Moodlight" is installed already and showing in the list. I then launched the app from the Menu and it worked fine. However, whenever i try to do an update or restore application list from backup, "Moodlight" always shows it's not installed properly and always attempts to update it, which always give me the same error as i posted above.



And here're some more errors i got (all are "Application packages missing:") :

libqtm-bearer
libxslt1.1(>=1.1.1.9-1osso4+om5)
libfribidio
liblzo202
