On Juno the default Mega deb
package is not installing because of missing dependencies which using sudo apt install -f
does not resolve. In face of better solution I came here to see what can be done, the last elementary available version of Mega is for Loki (which was what I was using and it worked perfectly).
When trying to install the Loki version it gives the following dependency chain:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of megasync:
megasync depends on libcrypto++9v5; however:
Package libcrypto++9v5 is not installed.
megasync depends on libqt4-dbus (>= 4:4.5.3); however:
Package libqt4-dbus is not installed.
megasync depends on libqt4-network (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1); however:
Package libqt4-network is not installed.
megasync depends on libqt4-svg (>= 4:4.5.3); however:
Package libqt4-svg is not installed.
megasync depends on libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.8.0); however:
Package libqtcore4 is not installed.
megasync depends on libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.8.0); however:
Package libqtgui4 is not installed.
The first dependency I saw that other people had a problem as well, and the others should be fixed with a simple sudo apt install -f
but they aren't being fixed. What could be a better solution instead of hand installing every package? Does the package provider wasn't caring enough to see this or is APT?
