OS: Ubuntu 17.10 64bits
I am trying to install splashtop streamer, which was last updated for Ubuntu 14.04. It needed libx264-142 and wouldn't want to install using the newer libx264-148 version. So I went to the ubuntu website and downloaded the 142 version that the package asked for, and after installing it the package still refuses to install and still throws "dependency could not be satisfied: libx264-142"
Synaptics shows that both libx264-142 AND libx264-148 are installed. I was going to try to uninstall the 148 variant to see if that helped my package "see" the 142 version, but it wanted to unistall a lot of other packages so I decided against that. Is there a way to manually point it to the package it needs?
sudo dpkg -i --force-all package.deb
of course change package.deb to the actual deb filehttps://askubuntu.com/questions/336795/ubuntu-fix-dependency-problems
