Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: fonts-liberation (Ubuntu 10)
-
Hello, the thread's title is nothing else than the message that I receive when i click on the deb file of Vivaldi. The version is the latest one.
All I wish to know is what this dependency is, or in another words, what is its use, and more importantly, where I can find it, so that I can install it. Many thanks for your time.

Ubuntu 10.04 reached it's EOL almost 5 years ago and the repositories have moved to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
Your system is insecure and your package sources are effectively offline.glen@Xubarty:~$ distro-info --series lucid --release --fullname --days=eol Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" -1760
You should install the latest LTS relesase, 16.04 Xenial.
If you want to keep using lucid (not recommended) you can find old packages HEREor change your sources as shown HERE.

Gwen, I prefer to install the font-liberation through source packages, so I would appreciate if you tell me where I can download the tar file.
To Steffie, I cannot move to a newer system. Even if I could, I do not want to do so for nearby future.
To CantankRus. Your last link says: "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; do-release-upgrade"
Would what that precisely do? Go to a newer version of Ubuntu?
Outside that, I already -

Outside that, I alreadyThe first link in my previous post pointed to old font-liberation downloads.
"sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; do-release-upgrade" will upgrade the operating system to latest release but I don't think this will even work from such an old release.
You would need to do a fresh install.
Why do you not want to install a currently supported release?glen@Xubarty:~$ distro-info --all -rf --days=eol Ubuntu 4.10 "Warty Warthog" -4330 Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog" -4146 Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" -3982 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake" -3159 Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft" -3604 Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" -3427 Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" -3246 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron" -2492 Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" -2869 Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" -2693 Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" -2505 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" -1764 Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" -2158 Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" -1957 Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" -1764 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" -316 Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" -1392 Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" -1501 Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" -1330 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" 405 Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" -959 Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" -775 Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" -594 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" 1140 Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" -231 Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" -42 Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" 133 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" 1875

I agree, old tech rulz. Here i am running Vivaldi very satisfactorily on my abacus, but tomorrow i plan to upgrade it to my typewriter instead. For portability i also run it on my sliderule. Modern new-fangled glitzy tech, who wants it, who needs it? Pffffft.

Created a folder called /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation and manually copied all the .ttf from the fonts liberarion package to it. Vivaldi's deb package did not find it.
Then tried to install the deb package of fonts-liberation. Received a error message saying "installing fonts liberation would break ttf-liberation and desconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)"
Finally, tried:
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=fonts-liberation vivaldi-stable_1.14.1077.55-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f installand received:
"dpkg-deb: file `vivaldi-stable_1.14.1077.55-1_amd64.deb' contains ununderstood data member data.tar.xz , giving up
dpkg: error processing vivaldi-stable_1.14.1077.55-1_amd64.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2"Unless there is a easy way around these problems, I will give up.
To CantankRus: Because I like it and I am fairly satisfied with it. Nonetheless, as I said before: " I cannot move to a newer system". This makes the want part irrelevant.

I like a lot of things that are bad for me.
Curious to know why you cannot move to a newer release?It seems lucid used the package ttf-liberation which is probably already installed and fonts-liberation breaks.
I use the following method to install the old opera browser which has unsatisfiable gstreamer dependencies.
Try installing the vivaldi deb with
sudo dpkg --force-all -i
<deb file>
After install, edit/var/lib/dpkg/status
(Make a backup before editing).
Search the file for "vivaldi" and remove any unsatisfiable dependencies from the "Depedencies:" line and clear the "Recommends:" line.
This will stop warnings when you run an update. -
@steffie who needs this crap when we still have IE6 running on Windows XP?
