Public bug reported:
With Xubuntu Xenial Xerus 16.04 LTS Beta2 googleearth-package (1.2.2)
is still not working as reported several times before.
This time, there is no way to install google-earth with normal administrator
skills
at all - as further outlined below.
As reported for the former LTS Trusty (14.04 LTS) Bug# 1314993,
the package is still not working and dependencies are not met:
>From Xenial Beta2:
$ make-googleearth-package --force
$ sudo dpkg -i googleearth_6.0.3.2197+1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package googleearth.
(Reading database ... 445462 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of googleearth:
googleearth depends on lsb-core; however:

googleearth depends on libcurl3:i386; however:
dpkg: error processing package googleearth (--install):

Unknown media type in type 'all/all'
Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles'
Errors were encountered while processing:
googleearth
As lsb-core is no longer supported by Debian (and thus Ubuntu), this dependency
can not be met and thus also the directly provided Google 32 bit package is not
installable.
As reported since years the 64 bit package is also not installable (and
never[?] was).
Also the depicted way using Jessie packages
(lsb-security_4.1+Debian13+nmu1_i386.deb,
lsb-invalid-mta_4.1+Debian13+nmu1_all.deb and
lsb-core_4.1+Debian13+nmu1_i386.deb)
is no longer possible (i.e. with Beta2), as other dependency problems exist.
This problem may be best addressed by google in providing current installation
packages
working on current amd64 systems or by Debian/Ubuntu by providing an environment
where these dependencies are met (this was the former reason for the
google-earth package).
Even with 32 bit package provided by Google a stable usage is not possible with
Werewolf (15.10),
see e.g. Bug #1559489.
Thus, additional care by Google may be appropriate.
Otherwise, this very informative and educative tool is no longer accessible for
most users
of the Linux desktop ....
If further pieces of information are needed or something should be
tested, I am willing to help.
Best wishes,
JMB
