dependency problems - installation codeblocks 16:01 - ubuntu 16.04

[Giovanni62]

There are dependency issues if you try to install codeblocks 16.01 on ubuntu 16.04 through ppa:damien-moore/codeblocks-stable. :-[

I think I have the same problem with clean 16.04 install of Ubuntu (in VM).

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
codeblocks : Depends: libcodeblocks0 (= 16.01~ubuntu16.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.12.1+dfsg2) but it is not installable
              Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.12.1+dfsg2) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Exactly!

What version of wxgtk exists on Ubuntu 16.04?

libwxgtk3.0-0v5

Should I try to find some repository which install older version of gtk ( 2.8 )?

If so, do you indicate some?

You likely need to wait or self build Code::Blocks.
You could try the Debian stretch (Testing) deb files and see if that works.

NOTE: Code::Blocks built using wxWidgets 3.0 is NOT a stable as using wxWidgets 2.8.12.

Given these packages are autobuilt on launchpad, presumably using a 16.04 VM, I'm not even sure how this is possible. I guess they recently took a bunch of packages out of their repos. Surely code::blocks isn't the only package with a 2.8 dependency?

Worst case, I can add wx2.8 packages to the PPA. I will investigate the options in the next few days, but I will keep an eye on this thread in case anyone else has a simple solution.

Cool! PPA had built against gtk 3.0 automatically.

But, in fact, it is not as stable as the previous one I was using at 15.10 (Code::Blocks 16.01 at Ubuntu 15.10, that I suppose to be linked against gtk 2.8 ).

For example, the version appears as subversion revision 10835 (and not 16.01).

Which PPA are you talking about? It's not my codeblocks-stable one. This daily one based on current trunk (in my sig) IS working, however: https://launchpad.net/~damien-moore/+archive/ubuntu/codeblocks

In wx3.0 builds you have to disable the class browser in the code completion settings to prevent random crashes.

Hello, newbie here...

Just passed by to tell you, that in Ubuntu Mate 16.04, I installed code::blocks from https://launchpad.net/~damien-moore/+archive/ubuntu/codeblocks and works like a charm!

Thanks and keep up the good work!

[dmoore]

Small update to say that I am in the process of adding wxwidgets2.8 into ppa:damien-moore/codeblocks-stable so the wx2.8 dependency can be resolved on 16.04. The build should be done in about an hour. If it succeeds, it would be great if someone can test it out:

Hello don't know why but I'm still getting ascendancies issue... I'm supposing you already added wxwidgets2.8 into ppa:damien-moore/codeblocks-stable so the wx2.8 dependency can be resolved on 16.04.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
codeblocks : Depends: libcodeblocks0 (= 16.01~ubuntu16.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.12.1+dfsg2) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.12.1+dfsg2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Do you currently have a solution for  this?

Thanks for testing. I'm forcing a rebuild and hopefully that will do the trick. You can see the progress here.

EDIT: It failed. I'm investigating...

I have the same problem, I can not even install the library individually, and this is considering that my installation of Ubuntu 16.04 is fresh.
Ubuntu has dropped libwxbase2.8-0??
