Issue with Installation PyGObject for Ubuntu

lukenuyen02 · December 15, 2022, 11:42pm

Hello,

I could not go through the installation process in Ubuntu machine, and I need some helps.

I stuck at this command line:

sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev gcc libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I am really not sure If I am missing anything or something seem very strange here about the external package where the package python3-markupsafe_1.1.1-1build2_amd64.deb is Not Found …

Please help

Try running sudo apt update.

lukenuyen02 · December 16, 2022, 3:43pm

@mazharhussain Thanks for your suggestion. I do believe that my description is not detail enough, and probably it’s missing a lot of important information.

Here is my sudo apt update.

It seems you’re having issues the Ubuntu package servers.

I recommend you ask on the Ubuntu discussion forum, also for help on how to install pygobject on Ubuntu if the installation instructions do not work.

Mikenux · December 16, 2022, 5:07pm

Using the main repository (archive.ubuntu.com instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com) is also a solution. Or you just wait for the US mirror to be up to date.

RandomUser · December 17, 2022, 1:27pm

Ubuntu 21.10 reached end of life in July this year. At some point they close down the repositories, which might explain the 404 Not Found. Try to do an upgrade. Version 22.04 is an LTS, supported for 5 years.

Mikenux · December 17, 2022, 2:41pm

I checked and Impish is indeed not listed on the main server… (never imagined they were removing the packages).

lukenuyen02 · December 19, 2022, 3:36pm

@Mikenux Yeah, that is what I thought, I need this package for a project, but since they did this, I dont know what to do . I dont want to us the archive.ubuntu.com because it will impact the production version, since the production version of the project is running with us.archive.ubuntu.com
