I'm having problems installing vim on my upgraded Ubuntu. When I try to install vim:



sudo apt-get install vim


I get this error saying I have broken packages.



The following packages have unmet dependencies.
vim : Depends: libpython3.6 (>= 3.6.4~rc1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I tried fixing this with 



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install


My python version is 3.6.5. So I am rather confused that something is missing for vim. Because before my upgrade to 18.04 I had vim installed and it worked fine.



dpkg --get-selections | grep hold


Doesn't show any held packages either.



But I still get the same error. Any ideas?



Thanks!



EDIT:



I fixed the issue by downgrading my python packages to the version vim was requesting. Thanks for the help. I solved the issue with 



sudo aptitude install -f vim



package-management vim

pylint3 and pip3 broken

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I have tried sudo apt remove --purge on various packages. I get the same when I reinstall. I have also tried reinstall using aptitude. This does not work. My current workaround is to run pylint3 as root, which works, but is bad practice. pip3 $ pip3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored __import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0) ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.pkg_resources' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip3", line 9, in <module> from pip import main File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pip.exceptions import InstallationError, CommandError, PipError File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/exceptions.py", line 6, ...

How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
