tdiguy 96 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I ran into a problem with my emby server, mostly because i did not secure the usb hard drive in any way and for some reason it took a dive off my table. So i pulled out my old microsd card and installed raspbien well its a new version called stretch. I managed to get up pretty far trying to install emby server but i am stumped at this part: The following packages have unmet dependencies: emby-server : Depends: embymagick but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Any idea's? This is on a pi3 running raspbien stretch. i am calling it quits for the night ( or morning? since its past midnight now) Any help is of course appreciated.

tdiguy 96 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I have been searching through https://packages.ubuntu.com/ but i cant seem to find the embymagick package to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdiguy 96 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 What the heck, i was able to find what i think should work but it says : You can download the requested file from the pool/main/libw/libwebp/ subdirectory at any of these sites: and there is nothing listed after : wth.

tdiguy 96 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Ok i found it finally. http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libw/libwebp/libwebp5_0.4.1-1.1_armhf.deb I am also curious since i imagine that i might need packages from there as a source how would i go about adding old-releases.ubuntu.com as a source ?

tdiguy 96 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 just add it to your sources.list file Right, its the formatting that has me tripped up, i cant just add it as that link can i? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Right, its the formatting that has me tripped up, i cant just add it as that link can i? nah, i think you keep the same formatting as what's in your sources.list now (country.ubuntu.com... or whatever it is) but switch out the prefix with old-releases. So something like old-releases.ubuntu.com.... I'm not in front of a linux box right now so I cant verify, but that should work and should resolve dependencies from there. If you keep current and old in the same sources file, it'll resolve using both and grab whichever repo has it. Again, theoretically, can't test it at the moment.

I recently learned about using pretty much anything.lists under /etc/apt/sources.list.d ( i think is the directory ) I will experiment with that so if i muck something up i am very unlikely to hose my entire install.

You can dry run an update/upgrade w/o making changes to your system to see what will get pulled and updated from your sources.

tdiguy 96 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ok i dont get it. I have http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/Debian_9.0/Packages listed as a source and my pi is not complaining about that. Yet its not downloading embymagick which is listed but i dont see the deb package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37086 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Once we have the .NET core build on Pi I think this issue won't exist anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdiguy 96 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Very much looking forward to that. From what i have read from the .net thread its going to be a major improvement. I am thinking about upgrading my pi with a tinker board also from the specs it looks like a pretty substantial upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdiguy 96 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Yep it was one of my other repositories that was mucking things up. I re-did everything and first added the mono snapshot repo that points to 4.8.1 and installed mono. It only installed mono 4.8.1 like i had expected earlier. I will also say I have read things from other sites questioning if there was any "real" advantage to booting from a usb. If you use a USB hard drive ( preferably one with its own power supply ) there is a easily noticeable difference from using the microsd card. One of these times i had emby up and running from the microsd and it was a dog by comparison. Its a somewhat cheap upgrade, especially if you have an extra hard drive enclosures to adapt to usb can be found generally between 10-20$ depending on how fancy you want to go. the sudo apt-get -s switch i also found very handy along with the mount -a command. Nice to simulate things before really cementing them especially for things that normally happen on reboot like making changes to fstab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdiguy 96 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 I just realized i never actually said what the repo was. For raspbien stretch and likely many debian based os's use deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy/snapshots/4.8.1.0 main as a repo for mono. This will pin it to mono 4.8.1 I forget the command but i used google to find it but you will have to get the pubkey for the repo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
