looking for package or lib file libatk1.0-0

Asked by fraterchaos

I'm trying to install a package I found online called Democracy TV player. It has a link specifically for Ubuntu Linux, and it is supposed to be for Dapper Drake version (which is the version I have, or I believe it is)

There are two links, one for democracyTV data, and another for democracyTV player. The first installs fine (using Gdebi) but when I install the second one I get a dependency error saying I need libatk1.0-0

I can't find a package or file called libatk1.0-0 in the software installer. When I do a search of the web for that file or package, all I get is libatk1.0-0.DLL (which I assume to be a windows DLL file)

What am I doing wrong, or where can I get this libatk1.0-0 file or package?

To find out if a package is available in Ubuntu you are best using the following site:-

http://packages.ubuntu.com/

type in the name of the package you are looking for and the version of Ubuntu.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libatk1.0-0

This shows that it exists in dapper. To install it go to System --> Administration --> Synaptic package manager and search for libatk. You should be able to tick the box to mark it to install then hit apply. Once installed you should then be able to go back and install Democracy player.

I did that. I went into the package manager, but I
went from the add/remove programs app. But once in
package manager, I did a search, and installed the
libatk package. That didn't help, so I went back and
installed all the packages that showed up when I
searched for libatk, including a couple involving ruby
that I doubt I actually needed. Still no luck,

I have also checked and double cecked with the update
tool, for any updated packages I might need.

DemocracyTV forums have not yet answered my request
for support there.

Hmm. I just downloaded the two democracy debs to my home directory and tried to install them using the following command:-

sudo dpkg -i democracy*.deb

Package libxine1 is not available, but is referred to

Ahh, excellent! We're nearly there!

Can you copy/paste the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list here?

Easiest way is probably to issue this command:-

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

I think we have a winner. Note the lines that start

#deb

Specifically the ones that have the word universe. They need to be enabled (that is remove the # from the start of those lines) because the libxine package you need is in that repository. Once you enable that repo you will be able to install the libxine package using Synaptic Package Manager and then democracy player should install.

There's a page about enabling the extra repositories here:-

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

I am confident this will solve your democracy player issues.

Ok, I changed the lines in the file, deleted every #
where it preceeded the word deb.

when I opened the add/remove program app I got an
error saying something about duplicate repositories.

I went into the pacokage installer and installed all
the libxine packages and that seemed to work right.

I then went to the Democracy TV website, and tried to
install both packages from there, with the same
results.

So I tried to install them from the terminal, as you
showed before, and again, I got a message that
libxine-main1 was unavailable, the same thing as
before.

I believe the original problem laid out in this request was the broken libatk dependency.

I am having the same problem as it is reported here:

https://develop.participatoryculture.org/democracy/ticket/5096

It seems that the .deb for democracyplayer was developed for Edgy Eft, and hence Dapper Drake is a bit behind on a few of the dependencies. This is most probably why Alan was not seeing the errors on Fiesty.

The .deb itself seems broken (at least on my machine). I have universe turned on in my apt sources, and the system is up to date. Here is the output of dpkg -i for those interested:

I thank you for the information, although I must
admit, much of the technical info is beyond my
understanding.

I am hoping that Alan Pope will see this message on
his own, but if he does not mention it, I will forward
it to him.

Have you found any answer as of this point? If I must,
I suppose I could change to Edgy, although Alan Pope
said he didn't see a reason for me to do so.

I am going to wait until I see what responses I get.
Then I may have more questions or report if I find an
answer.

Ok, I have now tested democracyplayer on Ubuntu dapper and can confirm that I see the same problem as you. Apologies for taking so long to get to that stage. I would recommend that you go to the link specified by Samuel Stringham - https://develop.participatoryculture.org/democracy/ticket/5096 and make a note there confirming that you are also having the problem.

Unfortunately as democracyplayer is a third party application, not developed or packaged by Ubuntu there isn't really an awful lot more we can do. Of course the good news is that the democracyplayer people at least know about the problem, so they potentially can fix it.

The other option open to you is to download the source:-

ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/src/

Read the install notes:-

https://develop.participatoryculture.org/democracy/wiki/LinuxNotes

(which are somewhat scant).

I just downloaded the latest version ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/src/Democracy-0.9.2.1.tar.gz to my (Dapper) PC and then extracted it using Archive Manager (from the Applications --> Accessories menu). There is a README in Democracy-0.9.2.1/platform/gtk-x11/ which says you need to run the following command to install the pre-requisites to build democracy player from source:-

sudo apt-get install python-pyrex libboost-python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-gnome2-extras-dev mozilla-dev libxine-dev

Once that's done it says to run Democracy-0.9.2.1/platform/gtk-x11/run.sh

However on my system I also had to do this:-

sudo apt-get install gcc g++

I then re-ran the run.sh and it all went pretty well, as you can see from these screenshots:-

http://gallery.popey.com/gallery/screenshots/Screenshot_QEMU_001
http://gallery.popey.com/gallery/screenshots/Screenshot_QEMU_1
http://gallery.popey.com/gallery/screenshots/Screenshot_QEMU_2
http://gallery.popey.com/gallery/screenshots/Screenshot_QEMU_3

If that all looks a bit scary then just wait for democracyplayer people to fix their ubuntu package.

Well, thanks for the help with it.

Maybe I'll just wait til they fix it, or I'm also
considering moving to Ubuntu Edgy, as it seems the
problem doesn't exist with it.

Not sure what I'm going to do just yet.

Again, thanks for all the help.
