libqtgui4 (4:4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2) depends on libqt4-declarative_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb and libqt4-declarative_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb depends on libqt4gui. How to configure these two

Asked by Neha Kumari on 2020-06-17

I am trying to install libqtgui4_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb but libqtgui4_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb depends on libqt4-declarative_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb and in return libqt4-declarative_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb depends on libqtgui4_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb. How to resolve this infinite loop? Below is the out from my Virtual Machine:

Where did you get the deb from, please?

Neha Kumari (nkumari) said : #2

I used the below two link to download the deb files:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libqt4-declarative
and
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libqtgui4

Thanks!

Then you want the Debian forum here:

Debian and Ubuntu packages have different dependencies and you will get a big mess if you mix packages between them. The Debian guys can advise. This is Ubuntu support only.

Thanks for your support. Got your Point.

Hint: You have to provide both package names in one command

dpkg -i libqtgui4_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb libqt4-declarative_4.8.7+dfsg-5ubuntu2_amd64.deb
