Thanks

Also your link took me to an Ubuntu page - do I need to download anything from there - and if so, to which directory?

see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kompozer/+bug/1065547

cd $HOME
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/102977238/kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
rm ./kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb

May cause the bug in Manfred's link. Not sure. You may need an alternative app.

Did the above - however got the following error messages:

dpkg: error processing kompozer (--install)
  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing ~

Errors were encountered while processing:
 kompozer

Could not find kompozer anywhere. Given the other correspondence received wrt kompozer removed due to bugs, no maintenance etc - what would you recommend to do now?

Try the command

sudo apt-get install -f

this should install the missing dependencies and make it run.

oops, sorry my fault:

you need to do this:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/102977237/kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
rm ./kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

Tried the above but failed the dpkg command with error

cannot access archive: No such file or Directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
./kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb

Did ls -lrt and could not see that file. Did a wget to the same repository but failed with ERROR 404: Not Found.

Can you provide a complete list of ALL the files I need to have in $HOME?

Also the 1ubuntu2_all.deb file is only 2.1Mb...bit on the small side?

thanks

Whoa!

Problem NOT solved - don't know how that one got out. How do I re open this question?

Progress

My fault - mistyped the first time I tried and then used the mouse to grab the command line and therefore repeated MY mistake.

However, on running the dpkg command - it failed on dependency.

message 'Package kompozer-data is not installed'

kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb is definitely there in $HOME

?

Found a .tar.gz file kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1.orig.tar.gz in launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourve/kompozer/1:0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2

Downloaded to $HOME

Is this of any use?

Sorry, there was a small error in my command ('i386' instead of 'all') causing it to fail.

Try this:

cd $HOME
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/102977237/kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/102977238/kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
rm ./kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb
rm ./kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

Hi Manfred

Sorry to be so late getting back to you, but I managed to get preoccupied with other stuff over the last few weeks. Anyway - Success|! Everything went through smoothly. Kompozer now working OK.

Thanks a lot for your help.
