Picoscope for Puppy Linux

Post by Decovi »

Dear users,

Had an old laptop laying around (HP Mini 2133). Want to use it in automotive workshop.
Installed Puppy linux (BionicPup32 19.03), lightweight distro.

Used the commands (ubuntu) from pico website to install PicoScope.
Last command give me following errors:
# sudo apt-get install picoscope
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
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:
picoscope : Depends: picomono (>= 4.6.2.16-1r02) but it is not installable
Depends: libgdiplus (>= 2.6.7) but it is not installable
Depends: libpicoipp (= 1.3.0-4r21) but it is not installable
Depends: libpl1000 (= 2.0.0-1r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps2000 (= 3.0.0-3r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps2000a (= 2.1.0-5r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps3000 (= 4.0.0-3r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps3000a (= 2.1.0-6r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps4000 (= 2.1.0-2r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps4000a (= 2.1.0-2r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps5000 (= 2.1.0-3r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps5000a (= 2.1.0-5r570) but it is not installable
Depends: libps6000 (= 2.1.0-6r580) but it is not installable
Depends: libusbdrdaq (= 2.0.0-1r570) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Is there a way to fix this? or is it impossible to install?

Tanx for reply.

You might try "sudo apt-get install -f". This should try and fix broken dependencies. Then try re-running "sudo apt-get install picoscope"

From the apt-get man page ("man apt-get"):

Code: Select all

       -f, --fix-broken
           Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. This option, when used with
            install/remove, can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If packages are
           specified, these have to completely correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when
            running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on
           a system. It is possible that a system's dependency structure can be so corrupt as to require manual
            intervention (which usually means using dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending
           packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an error in some situations. 
           Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.
On another note, the linux version of Pico software is not the automotive version. As far as I know, the automotive version of picoscope only runs on Windows.

Thanks,
Curt
