Today I updated Ubuntu 14.04 and Makerware was removed! I tried to install it and got his message:
$ sudo apt-get install makerware
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
makerware : Depends: libqt5multimedia5 (>= 5.0.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqt5multimediawidgets5 (>= 5.0.2) but it is not going to be installed or
libqt5multimediawidgets5-gles (>= 5.0.2) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I tried to install the missing package and got this message:
$ sudo apt-get install libqt5multimedia5

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libqt5multimedia5 : Depends: qtbase-abi-5-2-1
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I then tried to install that package, and found myself here:
$ sudo apt-get install qtbase-abi-5-2-1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package qtbase-abi-5-2-1 is a virtual package provided by: libqt5core5a 5.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu14.2 [Not candidate version] libqt5core5a 5.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu14 [Not candidate version] E: Package 'qtbase-abi-5-2-1' has no installation candidate
$ sudo apt-get install libqt5core5a Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libqt5core5a is already the newest version.
The package libqt5core5a
is already installed and so I am stuck.
