Error: dependency is not satisfiable: libpango1.0-0

Quoted from forums.getdropbox.com which I suspect aren't crawled so I can't bookmark

Error on downloading and double-clicking from

http://www.getdropbox.com/download?dl=packages/nautilus-dropbox_0.5.0-1_i386_ubuntu_7.10.deb

- Using Ubuntu 7.10
- libpango1.0-0 is already installed according to Synaptic Package Manager, reinstalled anyway without improvement
- I think the prereqs listed come up as installed, there are so many files I'm not sure tho

Any assistance appreciated

Hi David,

I had exactly the same issue. This is what I did to resolve it:

As Michael advised, I ran
sudo dpkg -i nautilus-dropbox_0.5.0-1_i386_ubuntu_7.10.deb
(however, I actually gave it the full path to the .deb file, not just the file name).

This told me that I needed version 1.18.3 or greater of libpango1.0-0, but I only had version 1.18.2 (it took me a moment to figure out that 1.0-0 wasn't the version!).

Note: the command also left a broken installation of Dropbox, which I removed using Synaptic package manager before carrying on.

I did a bit of hunting and found this page:
http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/10/fix-libpango-dependency-errors/

Following the instructions on this page, I installed libpango1.0-common from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-updates/libpango1.0-common
(following the link at the very bottom of the page, and overriding the warnings that it was later than the most recent approved version).

In the same manner, I then installed libpango1.0-0 from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-updates/libpango1.0-0

Once I had done this, Dropbox installed correctly, and the rest was plain sailing.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Paul.
