Copyq: Unsatisfiable dependency on Ubuntu 16.04

[GrouchyGaijin]

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 and if I try to install any of the deb packages for CopyQ I get this message: Error dependency is not satisfiable libqt4-gui

Coming across the same issue. It seems 16.04 doesn't have a package named libqt4-gui.

I've experienced the same here. I'm running Lubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) and tried installing the CopyQ package for Ubuntu 15.10.

See #488 and #463.

The package still fails to build on OBS. If you can help with that see the log.

It's been successfully built(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lukho:/copyq/xUbuntu_16.04/amd64/) but it's not installable, because of libqt4-gui, which is no longer supported on Ubuntu 16.04.

I removed 'libqt4-gui' from debian.control file(https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:lukho:copyq/CopyQ/debian.control?expand=1), and built it, and it was successful. Of course I could install it.

I've heard that libqt4-gui is just a dummy package, and all other packages(libqt4-xml, libqt4-network, libqt4-script, libqt4-svg) are clearly specified on debian.control, I think it's ok to remove libqt4-gui.

So far, CopyQ works fine for me.

@nemonein Thank you so much!

[hluk]

@nemonein Thanks for the info -- I've removed the libqt4-gui runtime dependecy. It seems that building for Ubuntu 16.04 was just broken on OBS initially.

I've uploaded the packages here.

I didn't manage to find Qt WebKit build dependency so Web plugin will be missing meaning you will see only basic HTML rendering in CopyQ.

Thanks to all of you for your work to making CopyQ available on Ubuntu 16.04!

[nemonein]

@hluk I don't know what you meant Qt WebKit build dependency, but there is libqtwebkit-dev (and libqtwebkit4 too) on Ubuntu 16.04. I tried to add this on debian.control file, and building was successful.

Did you mean this?

[hluk]

@nemonein On OBS there are no such packages - perhaps just yet.

[junkystu]

I am still unable to install 2.6.1 on 16.04 because it still depends on libqt4-svg

[orschiro]

@junkystu can you install the package from here?

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libqt4-svg

[nemonein]

libqt4-svg is on the Ubuntu 16.04.

$ apt policy libqt4-svg
libqt4-svg:
  Installed: 4:4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4:4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4:4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

If you have used dpkg, please try this again.

$ sudo dpkg -i copyq_2.7.1_Ubuntu_16.04_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt install -f

I hope this would help you.

@nemonein Thank you, that did it. I have tried forcing it before but the icon in the toolbar was coming up with a forbidden sign. I've removed and installed again and this time it worked fine.

@orschiro I have looked over there before but I missed the first time due to being in a rush and looking for "16.04" rather than "xenial" - lesson learned

[nemonein]

I opened a ppa for copyq. (not just for the copyq, actually.)
I included the libqtwebkit-dev when building.
Only Xenial version is in the PPA.
