Hello, This is an issue specifically about the bio-linux-emboss package (which then calls on debian-med emboss package and the associated emboss-derivative packages). Ie. nothing to do with the EMBOSS code itself.
The central issue would appear to be the requirements of the emboss-related packages we supply, which are appropriate for Ubuntu 10.04. In particular, the emboss-lib package depends on versions of packages that perhaps are not available for 8.04? (Without looking at this more closely, I couldn't say for sure). However, as this issue is not an Emboss bug, it's probably best for me to get in touch with Jörg directly rather than go into it in detail on this list. cheers, Bela ************************* Dr. Bela Tiwari Lead Bioinformatician NERC Environmental Bioinformatics Centre http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk tel: 01491 69 2705 Centre for Ecology and Hydrology Maclean Bldg, Benson Lane Crowmarsh Gifford Wallingford, England OX10 8BB ************************* ________________________________________ From: emboss-boun...@lists.open-bio.org [emboss-boun...@lists.open-bio.org] On Behalf Of Jörg Mühlisch [jmueh...@uni-muenster.de] Sent: 12 August 2010 09:00 To: emboss@lists.open-bio.org Subject: [EMBOSS] emboss update on ubuntu fails Hi All, while updating emboss using synaptic I ran into a problem. I use http://envgen.nox.ac.uk/bio-linux unstable bio-linux as package source. On ubuntu 8.04 emboss-data and emboss-doc were upgraded to 6.3.1-3, but emboss-lib was not updated from 6.0.1-11 and emboss was deinstalled, but not replaced by 6.3.1-3. The column newest Version remains at 6.0.1-3 for both. If I try to install the dependencies are not fullfilled: emboss: Hängt ab: »emboss-data (=6.0.1-11)«, aber es wird »6.3.1-3« installiert. (Depends on: »emboss-data (=6.0.1-11)«, but »6.3.1-3« will be installed.) On another 8.04 system the situation is the same, although emboss was not deinstalled. If I update the packages I can not update emboss-data (already installed), because the authenticity of the package can not be confirmed. Hope this will help to solve the problem. For my situation the only solution I found would be to force installation of 6.0.1-3 for all packages to fulfill the dependencies or to deinstall and reinstall all packages, but I m afraid this will not work, because the packages were not found. I would appreciate any help to solve this problem.
