runtime: Unable to install dotnet-sdk on Ubuntu 17.10

@PabloRioseco commented on Mon Apr 16 2018

I am trying to install dotnet-sdk to then be able to work with Visual Studio Code with dotnet in ubuntu 17.10

S.O.: Ubuntu 17.10 64b Update: Lastest version.

I am performing the following procedure indicated by: https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started/linux/ubuntu17-10 but when I’m installed sdk, I get an error when installing dotnet-sdk:

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1.104

PTAL @leecow

I’ve confirmed the 17.10 repo is working correctly and was able to install dotnet-sdk-2.1.104 (we released 2.1.105 today). It may be that you need to do a little house cleaning. The easiest first step is to sudo apt-get remove dotnet-host. This will uninstall the host and all dependencies leaving you in a fairly clean state to try in re-install.

Hi @leecow , i have the same issue trying to install 2.1.105. Already executed sudo apt-get remove dotnet-host but error still there… What other steps can we follow to install core 2.0 ?

(i´m doing this process in order to install JetBrains Rider)… By the way, i’m using Linux Mint Sylvia (so, i suppose that instructions for Ubuntu 17 works seamlessly)

Followed instructions here https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/download-archives/2.0.7-download.md

And still not working

Also tried to install only dotnet-runtime-2.0.7 and get this error

may@maylinux ~ $ sudo apt-get install dotnet-runtime-2.0.7

No se pudieron instalar algunos paquetes. Esto puede significar que
usted pidió una situación imposible o, si está usando la distribución
inestable, que algunos paquetes necesarios aún no se han creado o se
han sacado de «Incoming».
La siguiente información puede ayudar a resolver la situación:

Los siguientes paquetes tienen dependencias incumplidas:
 dotnet-runtime-2.0.7 : Depende: libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.14+dfsg) pero 1.13.2+dfsg-5ubuntu2 va a ser instalado
                        Depende: libicu57 pero no es instalable
                        Depende: dotnet-hostfxr-2.0.7 pero no va a instalarse
E: No se pudieron corregir los problemas, usted ha retenido paquetes rotos.

So, in english it says that: 2.0.7 depends on libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.14+dfsg) but 1.13.2+dfsg-5ubuntu2 will be installed 2.0.7 depends on libicu57 but it’s not installable (?) 2.07 depends on dotnet-hostfxr-2.0.7 but it will be not installed…

So… whats happening here?

what I did, from the ubuntu 16 version to 17 the only thing that changes is xenial to artful, and the pattern keep to ubuntu 18 version, so just change from artful to bionic.

cheers.

I ran into the same problem trying to install it on Linux Mint 18.3. The above instructions didn’t work.

Instead I downloaded the libicu60 deb directly from here, installed it manually and then installed the SDK. That appears to have fixed it for me.

same to me in xubuntu 18.04

I’ve followed this steps:

I had this issue and found I didn’t have the universe repo in my sources.list. You can add this using the following:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update

Here do you have all the icu stuff to download the deb packages : http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/

after select yours you need to download it (this is for net core 2.2) : wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb -P /tmp/

And then just install it : sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb .

Then you can follow the Net core 2.2 installation from Microsoft.

@Chemik27 I had the same problem. @fafg specifically put the commands for bionic (ubuntu 18.04). To fix this just disable/remove the ppa (https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/18.04/prod or https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-ubuntu-bionic-prod) and run sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-ubuntu-CODENAMEHERE-prod CODENAMEHERE main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list' replacing CODENAMEHERE with the code name of your OS (xenial for 16.04). This is the same command @fafg put, just with CODENAMEHERE subbed in. Then just run sudo apt-get update and everything should work.

Managed to manually install the libicu55 manually by doing this:

wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu55_55.1-7_amd64.deb

and then installing it like this:

dpkg -i libicu55*.deb

After that I can run the command:

apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.2

Disclaimer: I really don’t know what I doing though 8-|

I think I’ve found the solution. I’m using version 16.04, and followed this link: linux prerequisites After installing several required packages, I’m able to install dotnet-sdk-2.1 on my Linux.

technoobs on Aug 30, 2018

was running into this also on ubuntu 16.04, but the solution from @fafg works!

my error was: after running apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1.105
