That job is left to the higher-level tools such as apt-get and aptitude. You can either fetch and install those dependencies yourself (lsb-core and ia32-libs. It is probably safest to install all three at the same time and let dpkg work out the ordering: dpkg -i lsb-core*.deb ia32-libs*.deb google-earth-stable*.deb) or you can use a command such as "apt-get -f install" to fix things up. After a "dpkg -i", you would have google-earth-stable in a "half-installed" state. apt-get should be able to spot that this can be fixed by installing its dependencies. Sometimes, though, apt-get will suggest that the way to fix things is to remove the package you just installed - that probably means the dependecies can't be satisfied. > > I also build a deb from make-googleearth-package with following result: > > Unpacking googleearth > (from .../googleearth_6.0.3.2197+0.7.0-1_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: > dependency problems prevent configuration of googleearth: googleearth > depends on libfreeimage3; however: Package libfreeimage3 is not > installed. googleearth depends on lsb-core; however: > Package lsb-core is not installed. > googleearth depends on ia32-libs-gtk; however: > Package ia32-libs-gtk is not installed. > > dpkg: error processing googleearth (--install): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > Processing triggers for mime-support ... > Processing triggers for menu ... > Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ... > Processing triggers for shared-mime-info ... > Unknown media type in type 'all/all' > Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles' > Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms' > Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmst' > Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmsu' > Unknown media type in type 'uri/pnm' > Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspt' > Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspu' > Errors were encountered while processing: > googleearth This is the same issue. It's not saying that the dependencies CAN'T be installed, only that they AREN'T at the moment. It didn't try to install them.
