Installing opencpn on a Raspberry ph 3

[Pokettuk]

Hello, i'm trying to install opencpn on my raspberry ph 3, but i get an error.
On the command: sudo add-apt-repository ppapencpn/opencpn it will start and ask me to press enter to continue.
After pressing enter iget the error: could not find a distribution template for Raspbian/jessie
Anyone an idee what is going wrong?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Just in case you haven't come across this yet..

OpenPlotter RPI | Sailoog

Opencpn with plugins and much more.

Okay, thanks for the information conachair, i certainly will try that version. But i'm still curious about what is going wrong during my installation of opencpn.

That does not work is my experience. You can better take synaptic and fill in the right server adres.

If you don't have synaptic install it. (sudo apt install synaptic)

Start synaptic in the terminal (sudo synaptic)

go to Settings > sources >

take new or change the present OpenCPN adress

deb
Index of /bdbcat/opencpn/ubuntu
trusty (or xenial)
main

activate

reload

search and look if you find opencpn

close synaptic

in terminal (sudo apt update)

sudo apt install opencpn

you get a kind of error but that does not matter, pass this

deb

trusty or xenial
main

Remove the *'s in my first post. Adress is shortened and not readable.

I'am sorry but this is the server address for the latest update.

Replace the word bdbcat with opencpn in the server adres an then it works and loads a complete version.

Groet,


Bram

Hi Bram,

Your tip brought me further, but unfortunately not with the expected result.
The outcome is still the same broken packages.
So, if you have some other tips/suggestions.

Kees,

did you see OpenCPN with search in synaptic ?

did you thereafter in the terminal:

sudo apt update

and then

sudo apt install opencpn

Yes you get some kind of a safety error message, but that does not matter. You can pass this one.

What OS are you using ? Trusty or Xenial version ?

Otherwise you can use OpenPlotter. Then you have every in one set. Raspian (Debian Jessy) and OpenCPN.

If you use Raspian you can update the system first:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

And you like to use the latest Pixel

sudo apt dist-upgrade

[Pokettuk]

I see Opencpn in Synaptic (version 4.5.221-0 trusty1

Installed as you mentioned (even the dist-upgrade)

OS = Linux raspberrypi 4.4.38-v7+ #938 SMP Thu Dec 15 15:22:21 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux (On my bill = Raspbian PIXEL)
Did everything you mentioned but still the problem persist.

[Pokettuk]

What i don't understand is the message i get. It says: dependencies are NOT INSTALLABLE OR is not going to be installed.

[Pokettuk]

This is the whole error message i get during installation:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
opencpn : Depends: opencpn-tcdata but it is not installable
Depends: opencpn-gshhs-low but it is not installable
Recommends: xcalib but it is not going to be installed

There seems to be something conflicting with your earlier installations.

You now know how to install OpenCPN and the server setting right..

First remove the present OpenCPN via Synaptic click on the square (Do a complete removal).

And then do a new install of OpenCPN and see if the conflicts are still present.

Regards,


Bram

The only option that is active, is "Mark for installation".
But that option is not working, than i get the message:

You can try:

sudo apt install -f

and

sudo apt autoremove

I think you have to remove the failing files first.
