cubic won't install with systemd 249.11-0ubuntu3.11 , asks for 249.11-0ubuntu3.7 about cubic HOT 4 CLOSED

I gave up, and installed

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Release:	20.04
Codename:	focal

which is a more stable release than Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, and there are no issues.

Keep in mind that newer versions can cause issues.

Thanks for all the help, take care, please close this, lgtm.

You did not share which version of Ubuntu you are using. I will guess it is Jammy 22.04 LTS, based on your version of systemd.

Cubic can be installed in Ubuntu 18.04.5 Bionic Beaver and above.
Cubic depends on systemd-container version 237 or higher.
However, the package systemd-container depends on systemd.
(Note that on a working system, the version number for systemd-container and systemd are usually the same).

On your system, systemd-container requires systemd version 249.11-0ubuntu3.7, because it will not work with any other version of systemd. This implies that you have systemd-container version 249.11-0ubuntu3.7 installed.

According to your error message, systemd version 249.11-0ubuntu3.11 will be installed, not version 249.11-0ubuntu3.7 (which is the version systemd-container requires):

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 **systemd-container : Depends: systemd (= 249.11-0ubuntu3.7) but 249.11-0ubuntu3.11 is to be installed**
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So the issue you have is an incompatibility between systemd-container and systemd.

Instead of attempting to install Cubic, try to fix this issue 1st.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install systemd-container

You will note that you get the same error as you have posted above.

Do you have any held-back packages?

apt-mark showhold

See if you have any other package dependencies that may prevent systemd-container and systemd from updating.

Thank you for the suggestions.

no luck with apt-install systemd-container:

Also, there is nothing being held back:

It looks like I have systemd, but I do NOT have systemd-container:

systemd is version 249.11-0ubuntu3.11

and trying to install systemd-container is no go, due to this error:

Also: nothing weird going on with this system, it's a pretty new install. Thanks!
