Trouble installing Hugin 2015.0.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 (codename "precise")

[John Barham]

Hi,

I'm having trouble upgrading Hugin 2015.0.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 (codename "precise"). The default Hugin version for Ubuntu 12.04 was 2013.0.0 but I need some of the newer features so I added the Hugin PPA per the instructions at https://launchpad.net/~hugin/+archive/ubuntu/hugin-builds (i.e., I ran "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/hugin-builds" followed by "apt-get update") but when I try running "apt-get install hugin" I get the following error:

# apt-get install hugin

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 hugin : Depends: hugin-tools (= 2014.0.0+dfsg-5ubuntu1~precise) but it is not going to be installed

         Depends: libpano13-3 but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any ideas? Has anyone successfully Hugin 2015.0.0 on Ubuntu 12.04?

Thanks, John

I don't use Ubuntu, so I'm guessing a bit here.
The libpano13-3 dependency looks a bit suspect.
Hugin-2015.0.0 uses libpano13-2.9.19.
Hope that is of some help.

I checked the Hugin PPA repository, and much to my astonishment, the
packet libpano13-6 (which is built from libpano13 V 2.9.19) is missing
for precise. I currently have no access to my build environment, but I
will try to have a look at this issue this evening.

Thank you for reporting this issue!

With kind kind regards

Hi Stefan,

Good news, I have just successfully installed Hugin on precise from the Hugin PPA repository.

Thanks very much for the fix! (Apologies for the late reply, I am in Australia.)

Cheers, John

Glad I could help.

No need to apologize, I'm used to delays. Hugin users are all over the
map ...
