Ubuntu – How to remove a deb without removing its dependencies

Go to software centre and search for mintupdate and remove it. I had to do this twice as the first time failed.

I then installed it again and the problem was fixed.

I installed aptitude and got these proposed solutions:

$ sudo aptitude install makerware

It seems that when I added the repository for MuseScore and upgraded MuseScore to 2.0, it also updated qt to 5.3 which seems to be incompatible with Makerware.

For now, it looks like I have to downgrade MuseScore or not use Makerware.
