Debian Jessie application install fails

#1 Post by ignatius »

I upgraded my Debian Wheezy device to Debian Jessie, and upon trying to install a package (mpv in this case), I get these errors:

Code: Select all

ghost:~# apt-get install mpv
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Please use code tags for terminal text. I fixed it for you this time.

For starters, Jessie is not supported any more. I suspect you haven't completed the upgrade correctly.

Code: Select all

427 not fully installed or removed.
Post the output of apt policy in code tags.
Also is armel your architecture?

Code: Select all

ghost:~# apt policy
bash: apt: command not found
And yes, this is the Armel architecture.

Thank you.
