Radio Tray will not install or open

Question

I'm affected with exactly this problem; mentions 14.04 https://bitbucket.org/carlmig/radio-tray/issues/218/dependency-is-not-satisfiable-python. Not sure where to turn next. Purged reinstalled several times.

I had it installed for one day working, barely; failed and tried several purge reinstalls but now stuck/stopped. by the missing dependency. I have used it for several years and it works very well.

Further research indicates this is a bug in process of being squashed. See: https://bitbucket.org/carlmig/radio-tray/pull-requests/10/fix-up-debian-packaging-to-use-dh-python/diff — Elder Geek, Oct 20 '15 at 00:30

radiotray from ubuntu repos does not dep on python-central, so what package are you trying to install? — doug, Oct 20 '15 at 01:13

Okay, I'm assuming you are trying to install an older version that requires that package. To install that dependency, run the following commands:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python-central/python-central_0.6.17ubuntu2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-central_0.6.17ubuntu2_all.deb

Now, you should be able to install without the dependency issue.

Okay, since that didn't work, lets try the current version to see if that fixes the issue.

WARNING:

The following steps will delete your current radiotray configuration and possibly any files associated with the application. You should make a backup of these file before you proceed!!!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get purge radiotray
sudo apt-get install radiotray=0.7.3-1ubuntu1

EDIT

Based on that bug report, you should be able to run the following to fix the issue:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly python-gst0.10 python-gtk2 python-lxml python-setuptools dh-python
