I downloaded the .deb extension package to my Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS machine. I use the dpkg command to install this package, but I get the error like this:

hie@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg -i mender-client_2.1.0-1_armhf.deb
Selecting previously unselected package mender-client:armhf.

That's my error and I've tried a lot to fix this error, but I haven't succeeded. When I enter sudo apt-get update, I get an output like this:

I may also have changed something in /etc/apt/source.list file. I don't know if this is the problem, but I would like to share the source.list with you in case it helps.

  • I see many different errors; I suggest remove the sources that don't support your arm architecture, as for the primary issue I'd apt-cache policy libc6 as 16.04 does have it (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=libc6), do you have it installed? (dpkg requires all requirements to be pre-installed, where as apt does not - have you tried apt to install if not pre-installed?) – guiverc Sep 20 '19 at 07:45
  • @karel If something there really solves this specific dependency problem (note also the difference in architectures, with this being an armhf system on which multiple dpkg architectures are probably not even enabled), then I think that should be explained before closing this, or perhaps even this should have an answer that explains it in this context. – Eliah Kagan Jul 29 '20 at 13:12
