Title: (solved) catfish
Post by: phil66 on September 10, 2014, 10:01:55 PM
Linuxlite-1.06

synaptic only has the version catfish-0.3.2-2

I want to install catfish_1.0.2-2_all.deb
When i try to install I get the error:dependency is not satisfiable python3 (>=3.3.2-2~)

Python3 latest version is 3.4

Any suggestions besides using tar.bz

Check the installed version of Python3 not the latest. You have to take care of all the dependencies by yourself.

I don't think there is another option to get the latest version. If this package has a ppa, maybe you can add it and install with sudo apt-get install catfish

Linux Lite is based off ubuntu 12.04 series, this means that some packages will only go up to a certain version, because of associated dependencies. Catfish is one of those. If you want the latest catfish, consider installing LL 2.0

For installing tarballs, see

but ...

I would use synaptic first.

If you do not want to upgrade LL to version 2 (but why not?), try installing an old version of catfish.

Hi Phil66,

Out of complete curiosity on my part, is there a difference between the two versions that you require one over the other?

Now have catfish-1.0.2

It is a simplified version as compared to 0.3.2
