BzowK 1 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hey Guys - I was planning to update my installation of Synergy in Ubunutu this morning to 1.10.x when I found that there were some dependencies not met - libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.0) & libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0). These packages are in my OS's repos, but not the versions needed. I proceeded to download DEBs for those two packages, but found they had dependencies so got DEBs for those and found they too had dependencies! My primary question is: is there a repo I can add, package to install, or whatever in order to install all libraries for a a version like 5.7.1? I see the full download for QT5 *(which I'm not that familiar with)* is 1.2gb - surely that whole thing isn't needed for a few grouped dependencies. Below is what I encountered this morning... **Example** One of the two needed dependencies for the DEB I was installing was libqt5core5a 5.7.1 and the OS's repo didn't have that version so found it's DEB, downloaded, and installed it. However, I found that with it, other dependencies were required which were libqt5gui5 (>= 5.0.2), libqt5network5 (>= 5.0.2), & libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.2.0~alpha1). These versions also weren't in my repos, so again had to download their debs and install. When installing them, I was prompted for more dependencies (yes, dependency of a dependency, or a dependency) which is when I decided to post. Any suggestions? It sure would be helpful if there was a repo we could add to sources.list to install updates and dependencies. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
smokebanshee 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hello, I've had the same problem. After learning that Synergy 2 is back in beta and the problems I was having there mightn't be addressed soon, I tried to go back to Synergy 1, and I'm getting the same dependency errors (Ubuntu 16.04): Preparing to unpack synergy_1.10.0.stable_b36+275cdc1c_debian_amd64.deb ... Unpacking synergy (1.10.0.stable~b36+275cdc1c) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of synergy: synergy depends on libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.0); however: Version of libqt5core5a:amd64 on system is 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5. synergy depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0); however: Package libssl1.1 is not installed. dpkg: error processing package synergy (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Link to post Share on other sites

asifhs 1 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I verified that the correct pkg for Ubuntu installs fine as pointed out by smokebanshee in the previous post. Link to post Share on other sites
HugoB 1 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Nick Bolton says in the thread that smokebanshee links: Quote There's a bug on our download page where it sometimes shows Ubuntu users the Debian download. Please use this instead: https://symless.com/synergy/download/direct?platform=ubuntu&architecture=x64 It installs fine when using the correct version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
