[Hackrf-dev] ubuntu 14.04lts

[tokens at myranch.com]

This is what happens when I try removing the programs.

allen at allen-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get remove gqrx gnuradio gr-osmosdr hackrf uhd-host
[sudo] password for allen:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnuradio-dev : Depends: gnuradio (= 3.7.5-gqrx~trusty7) but it is not going to be installed
libgnuradio-osmosdr0.1.4 : Depends: libgnuradio-iqbalance but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Then when I try the presented suggestion I get this.

allen at allen-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

It seems the failure of the installation of libgnuradio-iqbalance has me in a corner. I can’t install the file and I can’t remove what I have done.

Try: 


sudo apt-get remove gqrx gnuradio gr-osmosdr hackrf uhd-host


then do a search for any gnuradio components left behind:
sudo find / -name *gnuradio* -print


and delete them manually.

  Assuming pybombs is the correct way. How do I undo everything I have done up until now?

  I disagree. I have a feeling that installing gqrx alone will also install gnuradio and support for hackrf, so installing gqrx and gnuradio etc seems too much that will lead to problems. 

  The actual easiest way to install gnuradio with gqrx and hackrf support is to use pybombs, see http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/pybombs/wiki

  Simon.
