Cannot install Codlite 9 in Ubuntu 15.10

[DavidGH]

Ah, I hadn't noticed that the ubuntu CodeLite had got that recent

Which libclang1 is actually installed? And what is the output of doing:
aptitude why libclang1
It should tell you what would be damaged by removing it.

It looks like the installed version is: libclang-common-3.5-dev 1:3.5-dev

brian@brian-MS-7699:~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux$ aptitude why libclang1
Unable to find a reason to install libclang1.

The other library is: libclang1.3.5 1:3.5.2-2

[DavidGH]

OK. Why not try installing the 1-3.6. I just installed 1-3.5 alongside my 1-3.6; a different libllvm came too, but nothing went wrong and nothing was uninstalled.

If that works for you, do the same for CodeLite's other missing deps.

It wouldn't let me install 3.6, but it did let me install 3.7. I'll try to install that and see what happens after that. Maybe mine will finally work now.

Okay, I tried it with 3.7 but I got the same results. It seems to only want 3.6.

I'm struggling to work out why that could be. One possibility is that (so I'm told) plain 'apt' is fairly unintelligent. Aptitude is better.

So why not try: sudo aptitude install codelite
If nothing else, you should get better explanatory messages of why it's failing.

I'll check that out when I'm on my computer again.

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

[DavidGH]

Well, that gives some useful (I hope) information.

My box has account-plugin-aim installed too, version 3.12.10, without any conflict. Which version does yours have, and is there an available upgrade?
Were there lots of other conflicts too (for the '...' suffix)?

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

If you say 'no', you get another suggested fix, and then another, and...
