I attempted to install Fenics and receive the following message:

Can you give the output of:

apt-cache policy fenics; apt-cache policy libdolfin1.0-dev; lsb_release -a; uname -a

All I can suggest is report a bug, you are using the official repos so deps should be satisfied automaticall

could you please advise who exactly I should report this to?
Thank you

run:

ubuntu-bug fenics

And it will start the process.

Hi Richard,

Try to run this in a terminal:

  sudo apt-get install libdolfin1.0-dev

What do you get?

Please remove any old fenics and dolfin packages by running the following commands:

  sudo apt-get remove dolfin* fenics
  sudo apt-get autoremove

Then try to install fenics again:

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install fenics

Thank you. This worked.
