I have big problems in uninstalling ruby in ubunty.
I'm following https://stackoverflow.com/a/9618017/1796624 and when I try
aptitude purge <package name>
I get:
E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download
How to completely remove rails and ruby, where can I find the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package and now to manually fix it ?
ttf-mscorefonts-installer - is a package for install Microsoft TrueType fonts, this package no influence on rails.
Problem in your apt-get utility.

I don't know what is causing your errors, but you could try ASDF with the Elixir plugin. This allows you to install multiple versions of Elixir and its dependencies, and uses your user environment with shims instead of installing to system directories. This avoids many of the dependency and permission problems that comes with performing a single system-level installation.
It looks like you have both emacs23 and emacs24 installed. The failure is happening when trying to build for emacs23. Unless you really want emacs23 for some reason, remove it and then it should install fine:
sudo apt-get remove emacs23
It is possible you might have to delete some of the other emacs23-* packages by hand.
This problem only affects the erlang-mode package, which adds support for editing Erlang code in Emacs. If you're not using Emacs (or not developing Erlang in it), you can just uninstall that package:
sudo apt remove erlang-mode
As noted in Penguin Brian's answer, this happens when installing erlang-mode on a system using Emacs 23, as erlang-mode only supports Emacs 24 or newer. (Looks like this is a bug in the package: it shouldn't try to compile itself for unsupported Emacs versions.) If you do want to use erlang-mode in Emacs, I'd suggest running Emacs 24 and installing the Erlang mode from MELPA.
Trying to use the perf profiler. I've installed linux generic tools, but no luck. Here is the message I'm getting:
r#r-K55A:~$ perf
WARNING: perf not found for kernel 3.16.0-45
You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
linux-tools-3.16.0-45-generic
linux-cloud-tools-3.16.0-45-generic
You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
linux-tools-generic
linux-cloud-tools-generic
I've tried to install the above packages, but I get the following error:
Unable to locate package linux-tools-3.16.0-45-generic
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-tools-3.16.0-45-generic'
You can safely use this snippet:
sudo apt install linux-tools-common linux-tools-generic linux-tools-$(uname -r)
I could never get it working. Updated my Kernal to newest stable version and tried to download the above packages from sudo apt-get install. I finally found the packages manually online, and it's working fine.
TL;DR: How can I get the right package for libmapscript-ruby1.8 on my system?
Context:
We have found an open source Rails 2.3 app that solves an internal tool problem.
https://github.com/timwaters/mapwarper
Additional instructions
https://github.com/l34marr/mapwarper/blob/master/README#L125
I've some experience with Rails but am just learning about the Ubuntu eco-system and apt-get.
Problem:
The perceived problem is that one of the external libraries (mapscript) is not functioning.
Further detail:
The perceived source of the problem is that apt-get install libmapscript-ruby1.8 does not seem to load a ruby1.8 version of mapscript. Instead it loads to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-linux/mapscript.so via dependencies of libmapscript-ruby1.8
So when the Rails app links to the installed mapscript.so, it breaks, since the syntax is presumably different between mapscript.so build for 1.8.7 and 1.9.1.
Example error (note 1.9.1 version of mapscript.so is copied into 1.8.7 folder here)
TypeError (wrong argument type swig_runtime_data (expected Struct)):
/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p374/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/mapscript.so
Contact with the application creator has been largely fruitless so far, since they have not encountered this specific issue.
There is a rubygem but it seems to also be for 1.9.1
https://github.com/sourcepole/ruby_mapscript
Is there some apt-get magic that I am missing? I've just read that something called backports exists but don't know if that is a solution.
I know it is an old threat, but in case someone else got this problem, I solved the problem like this:
(I used this github page: https://github.com/normanb/mapserver/tree/master/mapserver/mapscript)
Install old libgif
1.) apt install unzip libgdal-dev swig libproj-dev proj-data proj-bin
2.) wget "http://launchpadlibrarian.net/90361644/libgif4_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb"
3.) sudo dpkg -i libgif4_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb
4.) wget "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/giflib/libgif-dev_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb"
5.) sudo dpkg -i libgif-dev_4.1.6-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb
Install old GD
6.) wget "www.boutell.com/gd/http/gd-2.0.33.tar.gz"
7.) unzip
8.) go to folder
9.) ./configure
10.) make
11.) make install
Install webserver
12.) Download zip from https://github.com/normanb/mapserver/
13.) unzip mapserver-master.zip
14.) Goto folder mapserver-master/mapserver/
15.) ./configure --with-wmsclient --with-proj --with-gdal --with-postgis (choose the options you need for your mapscript)
16.) make
For ruby mapscript: (for others chech out https://github.com/normanb/mapserver/tree/master/mapserver/mapscript)
16.) ruby extconf.rb
17.) make
18.) make install
Please note that there is a bug in set filter and you need to comment the filter like so "\"id = 123\"" (https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/3983)
Ultimately, it appears that the packages are (for my intent and purposes) broken.
Paired with a Debian guru, who basically installed Mapserver on the system in order to compile and generate the correct mapscript.so
He recommended I get in touch with the various package maintainers and outline the problems that I encountered.

but fails to install lua-sec-prosody package

E: Unable to locate package lua-sec-prosody
sources.list contain this line at end.

I had the same problem.
Changed the line in the sources.list to a previous version and it worked.
deb http://packages.prosody.im/debian precise main
From what I gather, lua-sec-prosody is an (old) fork of lua-sec that merges in some required changes. If it's not available for your platform, it means you should just use lua-sec :)

I have been trying some different java compilers over the weekend and decided to stick with javac this morning. I then proceeded to clean up the mess that was caused by my testing and removed every last trace of java and did a fresh 'apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk' after autoremove and autoclean.
The following weirdness was then encountered:
tarskin#5-PARA-11-0120:~$ javac
The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages:
* openjdk-6-jdk
* ecj
* gcj-4.4-jdk
* gcj-4.6-jdk
* gcj-4.5-jdk
* openjdk-7-jdk
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
I had allready installed openjdk but i tried it anyhow yielding:
tarskin#5-PARA-11-0120:~$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
[sudo] password for tarskin:

openjdk-6-jdk is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I know i must be doing something stupid but I have no idea what, if anyone else could give a pointer in the right direction that would be very much appreciated...
Cheers
EDIT: Found some other weird aspects about the 'new' instance of my java distro, it doesn't seem to recognise for example 'Pattern' or 'Matcher' that should be coming from the regex import shrugs.
TL;DR: install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
I had a similar issue on Fedora, but used rpm -q -l to list the contents of the (pre-installed) java-1.6.0-openjdk package, and discovered that it doesn't include javac. It is in fact only a JRE, not a JDK, as implied by the installation instructions on http://openjdk.java.net/install/ . To get javac, I installed java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel . Not exactly what I expected, because the usual packaging conventions would indicate that is the package for doing openjdk development (i.e., working on the JVM), not for developing programs with it.
Basically, openjdk's package naming doesn't follow either standard Java conventions (would require calling it a JRE somewhere), or standard Linux packaging conventions (using -devel indicates it is used for developing the package w/o -devel itself).
As per http://openjdk.java.net/install/, to install the OpenJDK-6 JRE only:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
To install the full JDK:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
Check /etc/alternatives and /usr/bin. One or both will contain links to old Java versions which you had installed. When those links are broken, you can get the error message above.
To update the links after installing a new version of Java, try update-alternatives
First to check if javac is installed try to look for that file:
1. locate javac
2. or find / -name javac
And also you can check at this website with instrucions on how to install java on Ubuntu (i suppose you are on ubuntu):
http://openjdk.java.net/install/
You can also check:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/openjdk-6-jdk/filelist for the files installed by the pacakge, and you can notice that javac should be installed.
Maybe you also need to run:
Open the terminal and run this command to install OpenJDK 7.0 on Ubuntu Oneiric:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
