Issue installing Abiword

Fri Aug 24, 2012 2:13 pm

Hi all,

Just got my Raspberry Pi last night. I've been trying to install a word processor with out much luck.

I tried abiword. First I followed the instructions on the wiki but that didn't work. Then I followed the corrected instructions here

http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... es#p157348

Eventually, after I allow the install, I get this message:

Err http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy/main libtelepathy-glib0 armhf 0.18.1-2
404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/rasp ... _armhf.deb 404 Not Found

Has anyone had this issue? Any info would be appreciated!

Did you type
sudo apt-get update

before trying to install?

I am experiencing the same problem on Raspbian. Yes, I ran an update prior to install Abiword.

OK, i got it.

This is not the best idea maybe, but it works.

Here it is:
download the newer one and install it after renaming, then install Abiword.

Code: Select all

cd ~
wget http://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/raspbian/raspbian/pool/main/t/telepathy-glib/libtelepathy-glib0_0.18.2-2_armhf.deb
mv libtelepathy-glib0_0.18.2-2_armhf.deb libtelepathy-glib0_0.18.2-2_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg --install libtelepathy-glib0_0.18.1-2_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install abiword
rm libtelepathy-glib0_0.18.1-2_armhf.deb
be happy :D
