[PROBLEM] Installing libwebkitgtk

[Danny the Hound]

I have XBian 1.0 (knockout) on my Raspberry PI B, and I would like to install some lightweight browser with javascript support (which I would then run through vnc). Right now I'm using Iceweasel, but that one is quite slow, so I was thinking about installing surf, Epiphany or kweb. Problem is all those are webkit based and when I'm trying to install them through apt, I'm getting into a conflict. They all need libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 (>= 1.3.10), but that one depends on libegl1-mesa (>= 7.8.1) or libegl1-x11 and libgles2-mesa (>= 7.8.1) or libgles2 which are in conflict with xbian-package-firmware. According to its description, this one, however, should provide libegl1-mesa and libgles2-mesa. Is there a way I can make libwebkitgtk correctly install even with keeping xbian-package-firmware?

If you will use VNC, it will never go fast, so I would assume that not Iceweasel AKA Firefox is so slow, it's VNC

I have the same problem--trying to install a webbrowser in lxde based on xbian (seemed like a sensible idea at the time). Is there a way to resolve the dependency problem?

Will check if there is a way out of the dependency jungle

Should be fixed with recent xbian-package-firmware update

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue :

Code:

root@xbian ~ # apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... 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:
xbian-package-firmware : Conflicts: libegl1-mesa
E: Broken packages

It's on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, and the installed version of xbian-package-firmware is version 4-1487795751.

Hope it's nothing big

@Pymous:

Already wrote on IRC:

Code:

[19:53] <mkreisl> i suppose you have packages installed which requires libegl1-mesa higher than 8.0.0
[19:55] <mkreisl> debian version is 10.3.1 for jessie, and 13.0.4 for jessie backport and stretch
[19:57] <mkreisl> can you confirm this?

Waiting now for reply ...

[Pymous]

I confirm

I "fixed" the issue by disabling other mirrors I installed (nodesources, ...) and using aptitude to handle any further conflict in the upgrade process (libcec was one of them), and now everything is working great !

Thanks for your help ! :3
