I was going to have myself a good ole time using purr-data, https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data, and discovered, horror of horrors that Bionic does not have some packages the lead maintainer lists as dependencies.

E: Package 'slv2-jack' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libslv2-dev' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libjpeg62-turbo' has no installation candidate

Well. Shucks.

Suggestions please.

  • Apparently already discussion on this. I'll see if it compiles without the libraries. disis.music.vt.edu/pipermail/l2ork-dev/2018-February/…

    You can try to this the dirty-way. Download .debs from previous ubuntu, unpack them with dpkg -x your.deb destdir and copy them into root fs or i.e. symlink from /opt.

  • dpkg -x is a last resort, at first try apt install ./some-package.deb. I'll write complete answer.

  • compilation completed successfully without those libraries. Maybe I'll put in a merge request to update the docs on Gitlab.

The SLV2 JACK packages are not available in bionic (18.04 LTS) repository, but you can install them from xenial (16.04 LTS) repository manually:

cd ~/Downloads

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/slv2/libslv2-9_0.6.6+dfsg1-3build1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./libslv2-9_0.6.6+dfsg1-3build1_amd64.deb

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/slv2/slv2-jack_0.6.6+dfsg1-3build1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./slv2-jack_0.6.6+dfsg1-3build1_amd64.deb

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/slv2/libslv2-dev_0.6.6+dfsg1-3build1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./libslv2-dev_0.6.6+dfsg1-3build1_amd64.deb

The libjpeg62-turbo is available from Debian Stretch repository:

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libj/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg62-turbo_1.5.1-2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./libjpeg62-turbo_1.5.1-2_amd64.deb

Note: usually this method is not recommended, but in this particular case it is allowed.
