I'm not using it, but I understand that Ubuntu 9.10 uses a new package manager. I don't know if it's just a new GUI, or if the changes are more fundamental than that. My guess is that you are trying to install the SbS deb package in a way that doesn't allow the package manager to evaluate and install dependencies. If you're not familiar with the details of the new Ubuntu package manager, I suggest you post your question to the Squeezebox Unix/Linux forum.

Not doing anything with the package-manager GUI at all, just double-clicking on the .DEB package that you uploaded. Yes, it *could* be a bug with the pack-man. Grabbed the available updates (one of them mentioned MySQL) and it still gets the error. Also tried installing MySQL 5 manually, but the .deb install still gets that error.
The 7.4.2 Deb package also gets this error on Kubuntu 9.10. Will try on plain Ubuntu.

This gives me a choice of 2 pkg-managers: 'GDebi Package installer' or the 'Kpackage Kit.' If I choose the Kpackage kit, it does try to resolve dependencies, and gets an error. There is a details button but it doesn't open. The 7.4.2 deb does the same. I believe the mySQL 5.0 server may no longer be available where our installer wants it to be. So I believe that the installer needs revision
In plain Ubuntu 9.10, there is still an issue with the dependencies (specifically MySQL) BUT the Gdebi app gives a helpful command to fix broken dependencies. So the package *may* need some fixing but at least the workaround is provided in the Ubuntu build. (see attachments)
Created attachment 6653 [details] Package manger gives CMD for fixing missing dependencies I get this CMD in Ubuntu 9.10 ---but not in Kubuntu (though it should work there) Was able to get the SB 7.5 installed and playing thru a touch
Created attachment 6654 [details] Getting the fixed dependencies This term window shows where it gets the better version of MySQL
Once I gave permissions it works as expected---noticed in Fedora that if I add a new folder of songs to the 'music' folder, it won't get picked-up by the re-scan unless I 're-apply' the permissions for the music folder by clicking the button for 'apply to enclosed folders' (in the 'sharing' tab of the music folder properties)

I tried this on my 9.10 ubuntu system (making sure I did not already have mysql installed) and didn't see the error. I'm going to leave this open in case users start seeing it, but due to the generally self-supporting nature of our linux users, I'm not targeting it for 7.5.0.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
