Installing the Ubuntu SDK failed because of missing package

qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-webapps-api

this was the message from apt-get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ubuntu-html5-sdk : Depends: qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-webapps-api but it is not installable
                    Depends: ubuntu-html5-container but it is not going to be installed

Can I get this package somewhere else?

The ubuntu-html5-sdk metapackage only exists in Trusty (14.04), for which qtdeclarative5-unity-action-plugin should also be available (even though it shouldn't be required, according to the package details).

  • Are you installing the SDK from the package repository? If so, is your package index up to date? Run apt-get update to make sure.

  • If you're installing from a PPA, notify its maintainer of your problem.

  • If everything else fails, you could install the dependencies manually and then retry the installation, but I would advise against it, as it will prevent you from receiving automatic updates and is very likely to break things (due to incompatible versions).

  • Mike thanks for answering. I followed the same steps I took yesterday and on the developer.ubuntu.com/apps/create/get-the-sdk page I found this notice: NOTICE: The PPA below currently has a broken package dependency and will not work correctly. We are working on resolving this issue as quickly as possible. I tried installing again and so far everything is working. If there is another fail I'll post a follow up. Thanks again. - Ray
