i'm not overly experienced with linux but have done a bit.
i'm really confused about trying to install Gedit-Plugins while running Linux Mint 16 (petra).
trying to install it via Mint's native software manager doesn't allow me to click the program within the manager, synaptic and terminal both give me this:
Code: Select all
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
regardless i ran:
Code: Select all
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt-get -f install
as per another similar question about held broken packages, heres my output for a few commands:
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
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:
gedit-plugins : Depends: gedit (>= 3.8) but 2.30.5+petra is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Code: Select all
$ apt-cache policy gedit-plugins
gedit-plugins:
Installed: (none)
