Question #659557 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/659557
Luc Scholtès gave more information on the question: Before reinstalling ubuntu 14, I would liek to ask if this problem coul dbe related to the libsuitesparse-metis-dev that needs to be install (cf. yade installation page). When I tried to install it sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-metis-dev Here is what I get: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libsuitesparse-metis-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libsuitesparse-dev:i386 libsuitesparse-dev E: Package 'libsuitesparse-metis-dev' has no installation candidate Following this message, I tried to install libsuitesparse-dev:i386 and libsuitesparse-dev but, and it seems that I missed it the first time, libsuitesparse-dev:i386 cannot be installed. Here is what I get when I sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev:i386: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: libsuitesparse-dev:i386 : Depends: libcholmod3.0.6:i386 (= 1:4.4.6-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libumfpack5.7.1:i386 (= 1:4.4.6-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libspqr2.0.2:i386 (= 1:4.4.6-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libblas-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed or libblas.so:i386 Depends: liblapack-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed or liblapack.so:i386 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. What should I do? Any suggestions about this? What do you guys have done on Ubuntu 16.04?
