Error: Cannot satisfy dependencies

[rlg]

I am trying to install DDRescue-GUI on Ubuntu 19.10 and I get the error Cannot satisfy dependencies.

Sounds like you need to install GetDevInfo first (https://www.hamishmb.com/html/downloads.php?program_name=getdevinfo)

[rlg]

I did that. I tried again with the same results.

[hamishmb]

Okay, can you give me the full error message then please?

Note that You'll need the Python 3 version of GetDevInfo

[rlg]

I am using the Python 3 version, downloaded from your site. The exact message I get when clicking on the downloaded file is in a pop up box that says:
Package Installer
Package: ddrescue-gui
Status: Error: Cannot satisfy dependencies

[hamishmb]

Okay. What distribution and version are you using? I can give you a command to run which will give me more information as to what the problem is, but I'll need to know what distribution you're using first.

[rlg]

I'm using Ubuntu (Kubuntu) 19.10

[hamishmb]

Okay. Could you open a Terminal (Konsole), change directory to the folder you saved DDRescue-GUI in and run:

sudo apt install ./<package-name>

ANd paste the output here please?

Thanks.

The output suggests that you've got my PPA added, but for the wrong version of Ubuntu - you might need to use software sources to verify this. Also, you should be using the DDRescue-GUI v2.1.0 package for Ubuntu 16.04 or newer at https://www.hamishmb.com/html/downloads.php?program_name=ddrescue-gui.

Hope this helps,
