Can't install Inkscape on Ubuntu 19.04

  • 772

I'm trying to install InkScape on Ubuntu 19.04 from Discover (KDE plasma store), but it shows error:

Dependencies resolution failed

I tried installing it from PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
sudo apt install inkscape -y

but it still shows dependencies unmet. This package or dependency is unmet.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
inkscape : Depends: libpoppler82 (>= 0.71.0) but it is not installable
            Recommends: python-uniconvertor but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How to install it, I can't find any solution. Any help will be appreciated.

kde inkscape plasma-5 poppler 19.04

    Both the disco repositories and the ppa currently provide version 0.92.4.
    So you don't need the ppa, remove it:

    sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:inkscape.dev/stable

    then update your repositories:

    sudo apt update

    and to fix some potential dependency issues (might not be needed, but it's always safe to run):

    sudo apt install -f

    then install inkscape:

    sudo apt install inkscape
