I am attempting to install git on Debian 8.6 Jessie
and have run into some dependency issues. What's odd is that I didn't have any issues the few times I recently installed Git
in a VM while I was getting used to Linux.
apt-get install git
Results in:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
git : Depends: liberror-perl but is not installable
Recommends: rsync but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
UPDATE
my sources.list
Seems to be an issue with my system. I can no longer properly install anything. I'm getting dependency issues installing things like Pulseaudio
which I've previously installed successfully a few days ago.
