When I try to install glchess in Synaptic

glchess install

I get this error error

At a certain time I installed the Gnome desktop and a lot of games that came with it and then uninstalled the games. Now I want chess back. When I downloaded the deb file and tried to install it in Gdebi I got a similar error: install error glchess

What should I change in repositories?

From your pastebin it looks very much like you have not got the updates repository enabled

enter image description here

Tick this option shown - the refresh your installation before install pyChess

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

  • It worked for me while I was having having the similar situation. Maybe it can work
