Hello friends, I have been a GNU / Linux user for some time and one of my favorite programs has been Scribus, but since I last formatted my Debian, I had not given myself the task of installing it, until I saw the jose-rod article. So today I want to share with you how Install Scribus on Debian Jessie / Sid with the libtiff5 library.
The problem
Well, to the point, I started to check my sources.list to start the process:
deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ testing main deb http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/ testing main deb-src http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ testing main deb-src http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/ testing main
Check that the package "Scribus-archive-keyring" was installed.
And I ran:
$ sudo aptitude install scribus icc-profiles
What it returned to me:
The following NEW packages will be installed: icc-profiles icc-profiles-free {a} libhyphen0 {a} libpodofo0.9.2 {ab} scribus {b} 0 updated packages, 5 new ones installed, 0 to remove and 0 not updated. I need to download 50.7 MB of files. After unpacking, 99.6 MB will be used. Dependencies for the following packages are not satisfied: libpodofo0.9.2: Depends: libtiff4 (> 3.9.5-3 ~) but not installable. scribus: Depends: libtiff4 (> 3.9.5-3 ~) but not installable. The following actions will resolve these dependencies Keep the following packages in the current version: 1) libpodofo0.9.2 [Not installed] 2) scribus [Not installed] Do you accept this solution? [Y / n / q /?] Q Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies Cancel.
Ouch! … That hurts
Doing a little research, Scribus depends on the library libtiff4 (3.9.7-3), which, in my system appears to me as a obsolete library, since I have installed the version libtiff5 (4.0.3-9)
Try changing the repos ...
deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ unstable main deb http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/ unstable main
… But it was useless. How to install Scribus on Debian
Solution. Easy, looking for I found that the package of Scribus all with debian-sid depends on libtiff5 (and not from libtiff4 ), then I downloaded the packages scribus scribus-template and scribus-ng from packages.debian.org:
- scribes:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/scribus/download (For 64 bits) or
https://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/scribus/download (For 32 bits)
- scribus-template:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/scribus-template/download
Now, it is time to install the scribus * .deb, in my case:
$ dpkg -i scribus_1.4.2.dfsg.3 + r18267-2_amd64.deb Selecting the previously unselected scribus package. (Reading the database ... 162350 1.4.2 files or directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack scribus_3.dfsg.18267 + r2-64_amd1.4.2.deb ... Unpacking scribus (3.dfsg.18267 + r2-0 ) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent scribus configuration: scribus depends on libhyphen2.7.1 (> = 0); however: The `libhyphen0.9.0 'package is not installed. scribus depends on libpodofo0.9.0; However: The package `libpodofoXNUMX 'is not installed.
Needed libhyphen0 y libpodofo0.9.0, so after installing them from aptitude:
$ dpkg -i scribus_1.4.2.dfsg.3 + r18267-2_amd64.deb $ dpkg -i scribus-template_1.2.4.1-2_all.deb $ dpkg -i scribus-ng_1.4.0.dfsg + r17300-1_all.deb
Done ... We run the program Scribus
