How to install yate-qt4 on ubuntu?

  • 772

I would like to install the following package on an ubuntu 18.04: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yate/5.4.0-1-1ubuntu2 yate-qt4.

I have an existing ubuntu installation that I once upgraded from 16.x, and there the yate client was just kept.

Now I'm reinstalling 18.04 directly, and cannot find a way to force installation of the yate client again.

If I downloaded the *.tar.gz from the url, what would I have to do with it in order to install yate?

sip 18.04

  1. I tried the answer below, but ran into a collision. It looks like "yate-client" installs "yate" as a requisite:

    The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libspandsp2 yate yate-client

    but then gives this collision:

    dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/yate-client_6.0.1-ubuntu1-sico1~bionic_amd64.deb (--unpack):
  trying to overwrite '/etc/yate/fileinfo.conf', which is also in package yate 6.0.1-ubuntu1-sico1~bionic

    This command-sequence gets around it

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sico/yate
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install yate-client

  2. You have to try packages from “Silver Connection” team PPA:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sico/yate
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yate-client
