Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  • Hi,
    I recently tried to install HomeBridge on my OMV 2.2.13 box but since I'm not very good with Linux, I may have messed something up.


    According to the guide i read, I had to change the /etc/apt/sources.list so that the top two rows said Jessie instead of Wheezy.
    Then I had to install GCC and G++, which I did. Then, since HomeKit didnt work anyway, I uninstalled the packages and reverted the changes in sources.list.


    Now, I get errors each time I try to install something. Both via the WebGUI and through a terminal. Everything I do ends with "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."


    I've tried apt-get autoclean, apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get purge, you name it. It gives no error whatsoever.
    Also, I've set to only use community-based updates and not pre-release updates.


    What can I do besides re-installing OMV from scratch?


    Thanks and happy holidays!

    Always a bad idea to use jessie repos on wheezy or stretch repos on jessie.

    You have a mess that would take longer to clean up (and still might have issues) than it would take to re-install.

    You shouldn't have problems. Mount the filesystems, re-create users and the shared folders using existing directories, and configure plugins.
