Unable to install latest brackets on Ubuntu 15.04

  • 772

I have latest deb package of brackets 64bit. I am on Ubuntu 15.04. I am getting the following error:

dependency is not satisfiable: libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.5)

I tried to install libgcrypt11 then I got this error:

$ sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11
Package libgcrypt11 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'libgcrypt11' has no installation candidate

What should I do now?

  1. Best Answer

    Update, the version below is not longer available. Now you have to install the Trusty version:

    wget https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/7110687/+files/libgcrypt11_1.5.4-2ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.4-2ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

    The package libgcrypt11 isn't longer an installable package in Ubuntu 15.04. You need now the library libgcrypt20.

    Therefore install the latest Utopic package from here with:

    sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.4-2ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

    Or follow the steps from my previous answer to change the dependencies for the brackets package and use libgcrypt20.

  3. I had the same problem. After following the steps from A.B.'s answer, the error didn't go away. I installed Brackets from Ubuntu-After-install.

    https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-after-install

    1. follow these steps:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thefanclub/ubuntu-after-install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-after-install
    1. open ubuntu-after-install from your apps.
    2. type-in your password.
    3. Select Brackets from the list. It will probably be the last entry in the list and click install. You are ready to go.

  4. You can install Brackets via PPA:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/brackets
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install brackets

  5. You could download the test version package this page based on this issue

    I'm new to Brackets. The install showed no issues. Only a pop-up came up with the notification that a newer version is available. This is the 1.4 version which doesn't work with libgcrypt20.

    Extra

    I tried following the instructions from sarathms, but version 1.4 won't start this way. From the command line brackets

    /usr/bin/brackets: error while loading shared libraries: 
libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Apparently somewhere inside the compiled code, there's a dependency.
