When i try to install 'youtube to mp3' in the software center

I get the following error:

the following packages have unmet dependencies:

youtube-to-mp3: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 is to be installed
                Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.9.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
                Depends: libqt4-declarative (>= 4:4.7.0~rc1) but 4:4.8.5+git192-g085f851+dfsg-2ubuntu4 is to be installed

                Depends: libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 4:0.8.6ubuntu0.12.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: libmp3lame0 (>= 3.99.3+repack1-1) but 3.99.5+repack1-3ubuntu1 is to be installed

when I run it in the terminal: 

sudo apt-get install youtube-to-mp3

I get the folowing message:

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:
   youtube-to-mp3 : Depends: libavcodec-extra-53 (>=4:0.8.6ubuntu0.12.04.1) but it is not installable

  • you're trying to install the package that is for Ubuntu 12.04LTS and as I see it depends on libavcodec-extra-53 but Ubuntu 14.04LTS has libavcodec-extra-54 in repos in other words I couldn't locate ppa with package youtube-to-mp3 for 14.04LTS.

Well, I've got an alternative if you change your mind

sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

Using this you can download mp3 , video of your choice using -F to find the number format and -f number to download eg :

youtube-dl -f 18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anything

The best way to get it installed is given in the link or follow the steps.

sudo add-apt-repository http://www.mediahuman.com/packages/ubuntu
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D808832C7D19F1F3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install youtube-to-mp3

Everything should go well and you would be having youtube-to-mp3 installed on your Ubuntu 14.04.

Please refer to Are PPA's safe to add to my system and what are some “red flags” to watch out for? for the potential dangers of using PPAs.

  • I doubt this addresses the dependency problems.

    Hi @DavidFoerster i have practically tested it and there is no reason to give negative marketing based on your assumption.

    Do you have the same package repositories set up as OP? If not, your personal experience is non-repeatable and moot for OP and I maintain, that PPA dependency problems are by far the most likely cause of OP's issue, not his method of installation.

  • @DavidFoerster Did you try the solution out by yourself, I respect what you do, but giving negative marking for things which is working and resolving issues for people is not a good idea, but at the same side negative marking de motivates people and you should correct people instead of giving them negative reviews. I don't deny that you should not give negative markings, but it should be for the people who give totally irrelevant answers. Again its your perspective at looking over the answers, but i am really not happy with the way it is moderated.

  • @DavidFoerster, Adding the package repo will install needed dependencies. Therefore, this is absolutely correct answer as well as this satisfy the question.
