Debian 9 version?


Recommended Posts

I'm on a debian 9 workstation.  When I download the .deb and try to install via 

sudo apt install ./Synergy_2.0.0.beta3~b542+489f59a6_amd64.deb 

I get the following output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'synergy' instead of './Synergy_2.0.0.beta3~b542+489f59a6_amd64.deb'
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:
 synergy : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

As the error notes, there's no libssl1.0.0 package, and if I bypass the error and install the package anyways, I get an error stating that the libssl.so shared object cannot be found.

Would it be possible to provide a debian 9 version of the binaries or else the source code for the 2.0 beta so I can compile it myself?

Thanks!

For what it's worth, you can install on debian 9 by adding the jessie backports to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main

With those added to sources.list:

> sudo apt-get update
> sudo dpkg -i Synergy_2.0.0.beta3-b542+489f59a6_amd64.deb
> sudo apt-get install -f

I added jessie-backports to etc/apt/sources.list

when i sudo dpkg -i Synergy_2.0.0.beta3-b542+489f59a6_amd64.deb

 i get back : dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'Synergy_2.0.0.beta3-b542+489f59a6_amd64.deb': No such file or directory

is it no longer in the repo?

Hi @bitbox, the .deb had come from the synergy download page (https://symless.com/synergy/downloads) instead of a repo.

Yes, I misunderstood. Was running dpkg in the wrong folder, and I hadn't realized the jessie backports repo was to get the libssl1.0.0 dependency. After adding the repo, updating and running

sudo apt install ./Synergy_2.0.0.beta3~b542+489f59a6_amd64.deb

in the correct folder, I was fine. 2.0 running on both of my Deb9 machines. Next...the windows-10 surface 3 tablet. Kill me now...
