The error I get seems to suggest I need a newer version of the libjpeg package than I currently have...... See here: root@rhinoceros:/home/mikef/Documents/xaralx# gdebi xaralx_0.7r1785-7_amd64.deb Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Building data structures... Done Building data structures... Done This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: libjpeg8 (>= 8c) I am a bit puzzled here.... If this version of xaralx was abandoned in 2014 surely gdebi would be asking me to install older versions of dependent packages rather then bang up to date ones? I am running Debian Jessie (amd64 version on a Kaveri box). Comments appreciated. Regards MF
