Ubuntu 16.04 Dependency Errors

When trying to install Manager in Ubuntu 16.04 I am getting some dependency errors. Trying to install the dependencies doesn’t work either.

user@desktop:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i Manager.deb
[sudo] password for user:

  Package libmono-wcf3.0a-cil is not installed.

Maybe the package name libmono-wcf3.0a-cil has been again renamed. I will need to investigate.

after upgrade to ubuntu 16.04 i can’t find manager anymore nor install it

Could you try to run following commands

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install mono-complete

Then try to install Manager again.

I gave that a try, and I’m still having problems. I have the same errors as before.

What do you see when you run “mono --version”?

From my 16.04 install.

$ mono --version

I still have the same problems:

I see the same issues as you do. So it is an Ubuntu 16.04 thing at the moment.

I’m installing Ubuntu 16.04 to figure out what should be the new dependencies. It looks like libmono-wcf3.0a-cil is no longer available.

I guess the debianfile has to be adapted

I’ve had the same problem switching to Ubuntu 16.04.

Could you try the latest version? It shouldn’t give libmono-wcf3.0a-cil dependency error anymore.

Works great on my Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop install. I had the same issue as initially reported.

Thanks Lubos.

I installed 16.4.4 and now it won’t start in Kubuntu 14.04.

@Jan_Eric_Lindh, could you try again with the latest version?

It works, thanks :slight_smile:

We are back in business. Thanks.

It is a known bug in 16.04 that is in the process of being fixed and a new version of Ubuntu Software Centre will be released in your update channel in the next week.

Workaround in the meantime

Open a terminal and cd to the directory where the Manager.deb file is. Then type the following:

sudo dpkg -i Manager.deb

sudo apt-get -f install

When everything is finished you will find Manager installed and everything will work. If Manager had disappeared after an upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, don’t worry you will not have lost any data

I have just tried to update to latest version of ManagerServer on DigitalOcean site and it won’t run.

The error message is …

For some reason even a previous version of ManagerServer that was working now gives the same error message. We are out of business until Lubos can help us. Beware.
