install RStudio in MX Linux 23 unmet dependencies [Solved]

[l0dr3]

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
rstudio : Depends: libssl1.0.0 but it is not installable or
libssl1.0.2 but it is not installable or
libssl1.1 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So, how the solution ?

If 'libssl1.1' is the only dependency thats missing here, try:

Code: Select all

wget 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1n-0+deb11u5_amd64.deb'
sudo dpkg -i ./libssl1.1_1.1.1n-0+deb11u5_amd64.deb

That helped me to solve a similar dependency problem in another cross-repo/cross-release installation scenario, see:

that is the result. Any other solution?

I download again using wget. And succeed. Finally I can install RStudio.
Thank you for your advice.

Code: Select all

wget 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1n-0+deb11u5_amd64.deb'
sudo dpkg -i ./libssl1.1_1.1.1n-0+deb11u5_amd64.deb

That is excellent, is this a clean install that will update with everything else?
I usually just end up installing to .local when I run into things like this just so I dont bork my system, but if this makes apt manage it then I should def learn more about the commans you posted. Nice work!

NO, there will be no auto-updates for this specific old/compatibilty package, bc such packages are not listed in 'bookworm-security' - in case of a MX23 installation. These packages are from 'bullseye-security/*' and/or 'buster-security/*' (main/[old[old]]stable) only.

In any case, for users that really need to use such side-installed stuff, they should take care of the origin (and purpose!) of these packages, always have a look at the debian-patch-trackers and changelogs for such packages, and do MANUALLY updates, if crucial fixes are available!

E.g.: for libssl1.1 - asof today - see: https://sources.debian.org/patches/openssl/ and: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libssl1.1

You may have waited long enough. For me the ubuntu 22 version worked just fine https://download1.rstudio.org/electron/ ... -amd64.deb

That's what I did but I'm only familiar with the windows version.
