You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fahcontrol : Depends: python-gnome2 but it is not installed
fahviewer : Depends: freeglut3 but it is not installed
Recommends: fahcontrol (= 7.4.4) but 7.4.4-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
please help. it's not very important but it annoys me seeing it everytime after I try to run sudo apt-get upgrade
Not to sound disrespectful. but the version of Debian Valve uses for SteamOS is horribly outdated. it always has. you were better off running any other distro and just downloading steam and running it from there.
what are you talking about? brewmaster is based on debian 8.1
Did you installing python-gnome2 & freeglut3 ? "Recommends: fahcontrol (= 7.4.4) but 7.4.4-1 is installed" hope that is not one of those issues where the only problem is the naming convention lol if you have synaptic, try Edit > Fix Broken Package. or see what dpkg -i says.
the kernel Brewmaster its based on is 3.18. right now the most updated kernel is 4.1.3.
I do agree that Brewmaster is kinda "outdated" if you compare it to a rolling release distro and you can easily install steam in any Linux distro, thus you don't really need SteamOS.
But, debian 8.1 is not outdated, it's just the way debian (non sid) is.
yeah. i just never understood why Valve never "Got with the times". when alchemist was announced, it was the same thing. it ran 3.1.0. i don't remember which kernel was the most updated at the time. but trying out steamOS (back in beta) was making my brain hurt.
People new to linux don't understand the way linux kernels work and assume that the SteamOS kernel is old because of the version number. While it is entirely different from mainline/stable/LT there's still a lot of misnomers from those who don't understand that it has lots of different hardware patches and such. Said people think newer = better - it's a common rookie mistake.
Regardless, just install your dependencies mentioned in your apt output.
edit; If that doesn't work just check aptitude or SPM and uninstall/reinstall all deps.
Yea go 2.6 Kernel, my favourite, it's a beast for embedded platforms, anyone that thinks you need the highest number kernel couldn't be anymore wrong if they tried. Yea the important number in kernel versions is the third number. It's easy to see why they use 3.0 as damn, for desktop system that kernel is rock solid.
E.g.
2.6 is the type of kernel .18/.32 is the versions that's what matters.
Why don't you do what the warning already suggests?
Run
sudo apt-get -f installor alternatively install the unmet dependencies manually like so:
sudo apt-get install python-gnome2 freeglut3this is the log::
sudo apt-get install python-gnome2 freeglut3
[sudo] password for desktop:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-gnome2 : Depends: libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.18) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libbonobo2-0 (>= 2.15.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libbonoboui2-0 (>= 2.15.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgconf2-4 (>= 2.31.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgnome2-0 (>= 2.17.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgnomecanvas2-0 (>= 2.11.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgnomeui-0 (>= 2.22.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 1:2.17.90) but it is not going to be installed

Depends: python-gconf (= 2.28.1+dfsg-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-pyorbit (>= 2.0.1-4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Just run:
sudo apt-get -f installthis will try to automatically resolve dependency problems.
If you're still stuck after this check this Ask Ubuntu question:
How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?
which is related to your problem, except you shouldn't need to mess with PPAs.
thank you so much :) it solved it
Great! :) I've marked the topic as solved, hope that's OK.
