get_iplayer forums

Hi,

Sorry for the simple question but I can't seem to install get_iplayer on ubuntu 16.0.4 and have had no luck searching for a solution.

(I'm logged in as root for all of the following...)

I've followed the instructions to add the PPA...

Code:
add-apt-repository ppa:jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer

apt-get update

I get the following error on install...

Code:
root@ubuntu-standard:~# apt-get install get-iplayer

Reading package lists... Done

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:

get-iplayer : Depends: atomicparsley (>= 0.9.4) but it is not going to be installed

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

It seems the package can't find the atomicparsley version listed in the PPA.

I see version "0.9.6-hg109.9183fff907bf-0ppa4~xenial" which I think should be the version for 16.0.4?

I can only see the default version 0.9.2~svn110-4 in my package list...

I can't seem to locate 0.9.6-hg109.9183fff907bf-0ppa4~xenial and install atomicparsley from the PPA instead of the default version.

I've removed the PPA with ppa-purge, refreshing all my packages from scratch, and tried again with no success.

Can someone please give me a shove in the right direction? What am I overlooking?

Thank you

Are you running Ubuntu on arm? Or on x86?

Hi Jon,

Thank you for picking this up.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.0.4 on a raspberry pi3, so arm.

(note I'm running Ubuntu, not Raspbian)

Specifically, image ubuntu-standard-16.0.4-server-armhf-raspberry-pi.img.

Thanks,
Kev

Ah! That'll be the problem. The ppa wasn't configured to build for arm, so there are no arm binaries.

Yet.

I need some help here - I don't have a pi3 so can't test whether the build works. I've now setup the get-iplayer-testing ppa to build for arm, and kicked off a build for arm for atomicparsley on xenial. It appears to have worked.

Can you try that and let me know if it works?

Thanks
Jon

Thanks Jon

I'll try as soon as I get home tonight and update here

Hi Jon,

I was able to install from the [color=#333333][size=medium][font=Georgia, FreeSerif, serif]get-iplayer-testing PPA first time...[/font][/size][/color]

[color=#333333][size=medium][font=Georgia, FreeSerif, serif]...and all my tests have been successful![/font][/size][/color]

Wonderful - I'm surprised it was that straightforward, but so long as it works :-)

I'll copy the arm binaries across to the get-iplayer ppa in the next couple of days, then you can either stick with the -testing ppa - which automatically publishes nightly builds - or switch to the normal one which only publishes formal releases.

Cheers
Jon
