I am trying to setup multitouch gestures on ubuntu 17.10, but for some reason, I can't install libinput-tools.



Error:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libinput-tools : Depends: libinput10 (= 1.8.4-0ubuntu0.17.10.1) but 1.8.2-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I know libnput10 is installed by default because ubuntu 17.10 replaced synaptics, so libinput-tools should work too?

          It looks like you are working on outdated repository packages for some reason (I've installed it locally, all the correct versioned dependencies are available).



          There are a number of reasons* why this may be the case, but try the following:



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


          * Reasons for outdated repository packages/info:



          1. You haven't pulled the latest package list (see sudo apt-get
            update
            to do this)


          2. The repository mirror is out of date - ie it
            should have sync'd from the main ubuntu repositories, but for
            whatever reason, that sync didn't happen/happened halfway through an
            update/failed to complete for some reason.



            This issue is out of your control (you can't fix the repository), but you can change which mirror your install points to - check out this thread:



            How do I change mirrors in Ubuntu Server from regional to main?



            Then retry the two original steps above -
