  • i am tring to use apt-get -f install the following
    dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.7-2_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite shared '/etc/vdpau_wrapper.cfg', which is different from other instances of package libvdpau1:i386 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.7-2_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)     – Aravinthan K Feb 08 '15 at 13:47
  • I am trying with gdebi these error "This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: vlc-nox (= 2.1.4-1)" – Aravinthan K Feb 08 '15 at 14:03
  • Wait, why are you installing Vlc using a deb file? It is available in the Software Center. – muru Feb 08 '15 at 14:07
  • same Problem in Software center please view @ http://s26.postimg.org/qtuvk32xl/VLC_PRoblem.png – Aravinthan K Feb 08 '15 at 14:15
  • Of course the same problem will come. The dpkg command messed things up. Try removing vlc first: sudo apt-get remove vlc-media-player. – muru Feb 08 '15 at 14:16
  • I am trying this command "apt-get install -f", i donot know what is the use of it but it solved my issues. Thank you bro :-) – Aravinthan K Feb 08 '15 at 14:24
  • Is there a reason you want to install an unsigned package from an unknow source and with no future security updates? It is recomended to install software from the official Ubuntu repositories. – xangua Feb 08 '15 at 17:02
  • Some Packages not available in Ubuntu software center, so i prefer these.Hereafter i try to install in ubuntu center. Thank you for your feedback. – Aravinthan K Feb 08 '15 at 18:37

Maybe you need gdebi, it can help you auto-install what the dependences when you install .deb.

First, you should install it sudo apt-get install gdebi

then, you can sudo gdebi xx.deb

  • Nobody needs GDebi. The Software Centre can handle deb files and dependencies. – muru Feb 08 '15 at 13:49
  • These error root@Aravinth:/home/aravinthan/Softwares/Players# sudo apt-get install gdebi Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gdebi : Depends: gdebi-core (= 0.9.5.4) but it is not going to be installed vdpau-va-driver:i386 : Depends: libvdpau1:i386 (>= 0.2) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).     – Aravinthan K Feb 08 '15 at 13:51
  • sorry, I never use Software Center to install software, so I don't know it is so powerful.Maybe I can try it.Thank you!! – wozhapen Feb 08 '15 at 13:53
  • Its works. I just remove that vdpau-va-driver:i386 from etc folder – Aravinthan K Feb 08 '15 at 13:56

  • I suggest that you can sudo apt-get --purge autoremove to clean some broken packages – wozhapen Feb 08 '15 at 14:02
