My build was working fine this morning, but now I have errors
about unmet dependencies:
Here is a link to the logs:
https://travis-ci.org/github/GrokImageCompression/grok/jobs/675868610
Error message:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
apt-get.diagnosticsapt-get install failed
The command “sudo -E apt-get -yq --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends $(travis_apt_get_options) install g+±9” failed and exited with 100 during .
Same thing when trying to install gcc-9 and g+±9 on Bionic: https://travis-ci.org/github/VioletGiraffe/cpp-db/builds/675919053
Worked fine just a couple days ago.
https://travis-ci.org/github/GrokImageCompression/grok/jobs/675868610#L234-L236
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
g++-9 : Depends: gcc-9 (= 9.2.1-17ubuntu1~18.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libstdc++-9-dev (= 9.2.1-17ubuntu1~18.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
Looks like the package dependencies changed. Adding gcc-9 and libstdc++-9-dev should resolve the issue.

Thanks, Unfortunately, that didn’t work.
Run the same apt invocation manually, adding -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes to it.
This will show which packages are conflicting with those that you are installing.
Usually, this error means that some of the preinstalled conflicting dependency packages have been installed manually and as such, they aren’t being replaced automatically unless you explicitly specify a corresponding replacement dependency.
E.g. this has happened before in

Any idea what’s the actual problem?
No idea!! I tried adding dependencies in, but doesn’t help.
We really need an explanation from Travis people on what changed and why the build suddenly broke.
ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test is broken. Some of its packages – libgcc-9-dev in particular – require dependencies (libgcc1 in particular) of greater versions than available in either stock Bionic repos or that PPA. The PPA should be providing those, I guess, since they are a part of the toolchain.
Ahhh, ok, that makes sense. I emailed the maintainer of that ppa.
The PPA maintainer has fixed the issue.
