Error while installing MegaSync on Ubuntu 20.04

  • 772

I am trying to install MegaSync on my new ubuntu 20.04 installation =). They already have a version out for ubuntu 20.04. (See https://mega.nz/sync). However, when I try to install it with sudo dpkg -i megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb I get a big list of dependency errors. It seems to me Megasync is missing some packages. However when I open the software updater it says there are no new updates that need to be done. I am not so experienced with Ubuntu yet so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  1. Best Answer

    You have to use apt / apt-get instead of dpkg. They will install dependencies for package:

    sudo apt install ./megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb

  2. None of the solutions I found in the web worked so I tried the following:

    I downloaded libcrypto++9 from here, and installed it as a .deb. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libc/libcrypto++/libcrypto++9_5.6.1-6_amd64.deb

    The same for libc6 from: http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.31-4_amd64.deb

    Then I downloaded libqt5gui5-gles_5.15.1+dfsg-2_amd64.deb from http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qtbase-opensource-src-gles/libqt5gui5-gles_5.15.1+dfsg-2_amd64.deb

    You should do it with any package that is missing in your own configuration. I recomend this website to find them: https://pkgs.org/
