I am new to Ubuntu, I want to install LibreOffice,

  • Ubuntu version 15.04.

  • I tried installing Synaptic (synaptic_0.81.3_amd64.deb)

  • I am not able to install Synaptic, I get the following error,

    synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libvte2_90.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did try to find answer in the forum, but I did not get any info, can some body help me please?

You do not need to download Synaptic.

Use Ubuntu Software Center to install Synaptic or any other software.

If there is a reason why you do not want to use USC, just run in terminal

sudo apt-get install synaptic

But as soon as you already tried to install a correct version of Synaptic, you can fix the dependency problem by running

sudo apt-get install -f

That will download and install the needed packages.

In addition to @Pilot6 absolutely correct answer. The missing file is in the package libvte-2.90-9. Therefore you could also install the missing package via

sudo apt-get install libvte-2.90-9

and repair you package system via

sudo apt-get install -f

  • That ibvte-2.90-9 should be installed by -f automatically.

  • @Pilot6 Yes, I wanted to deal only with the specific error.
