[Hackrf-dev] ubuntu 14.04lts

Alex,

Here is what happens. It just isn't going to let me get out of this mess.

allen at allen-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get remove gr-iqbal
[sudo] password for allen:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gr-osmosdr : Depends: libgnuradio-iqbalance 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).
allen at allen-laptop:~$

Al

There is a conflict with the gr-iqbal package provided by Ubuntu
14.04. Try removing that first

sudo apt.get remove gr-iqbal

Then you can continue with installing or uninstalling.
