Dependency problems when installing

1

Hi, hope you can help.
I downloaded the insync_1.2.11.35149-trusty_amd64.deb file that the site offered me. When I clicked on it, it just opened the archive, didn’t try to install anything.

I then googled what to do with a .deb file, and did the following:

amnon@gilgamesh:~$ sudo dpkg -i insync_1.2.11.35149-trusty_amd64.deb 
[sudo] password for amnon: 
Selecting previously unselected package insync.
(Reading database ... 134933 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking insync (from insync_1.2.11.35149-trusty_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of insync:
 insync depends on libc6 (>= 2.19); however:
  Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.13-38+deb7u8.

dpkg: error processing insync (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 insync

Something is wrong, looks like dependencies. Please help. I am a novice at linux, so please spell it out step by step, like for an idiot, to me.

Thanks
Amnon

@Amnon_Melzer What Linux distribution and version are you using? That package is for Ubuntu 14.04 and newer.

@Amnon_Melzer

Go to https://www.insynchq.com/downloads and click the Linux REPOSITORIES icon.

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list (with root privileges) according to the instructions
for a debian system.

Run the following command in a terminal to get details:
lsb_release -a

Update the apt repository then re-install insync.

Thanks

I followed the instructions at www-insynchq-com/downloads (dashed changed to dots because the system won’t let new users have too many links), and did this:

  1. Added the public key

$ wget -qO - https://d2t3ff60b2tol4.cloudfront.net/services@insynchq.com.gpg.key
| sudo apt-key add -

  1. Then got system details

amnon@gilgamesh:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy)
Release: 7.8
Codename: wheezy

  1. Then changed /etc/apt/sources.list by adding

deb http://apt.insynchq.com/debian Linux 7.8 non-free contrib

  1. Then did sudo apt-get update and got

W: Failed to fetch http://apt.insynchq.com/debian/dists/Linux/7.8/binary-amd64/Packages 403 Forbidden
W: Failed to fetch http://apt.insynchq.com/debian/dists/Linux/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages 403 Forbidden
W: Failed to fetch http://apt.insynchq.com/debian/dists/Linux/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages 403 Forbidden
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Didn’t try anything further. Please help

Best,
AMnon

Thankyou, it seems to be working!
