(I originally posed this on askubuntu but was told it should be here instead.)I want to install unity8-lxc on Linux Mint so I can check out Unity8 without installing it. Mint 17.3 (Rafaela) of course uses Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the latest kernel supported by which is 3.19 (I think we're on kernel version 87.32 now?). Since Mint is basically Ubuntu, I did:apt-add-repository ppa:unity8-desktop-session-team/unity8-preview-lxcapt updateapt install unity8-lxcwhich gives:[...]The following packages have unmet dependencies: unity8-lxc : Depends: python3-lxc but it is not going to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.naturally, I did apt install unity8-lxc python3 -fwhich yields:[...]The following packages have unmet dependencies: python3-lxc : Depends: liblxc1 (= 1.1.2-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed           Recommends: lxc-templates (>= 0.8.0~rc1-4ubuntu43) but it is not going to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.andapt install unity8-lxc python3-lxc liblxc1 lxc-templatesgives [...]The following packages have unmet dependencies: liblxc1 : Depends: libcgmanager0 (>= 0.28) but 0.24-0ubuntu7.5 is to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.despite the fact that as far as my scouring of the internet can tell, .24 is the latest available version of libcgmanager0. I built it from source, but I still get this issue.Lastly, apt install unity8-lxc python3-lxc liblxc1 lxc-templates libcgmanager0returnsReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency treeReading state information... Donelibcgmanager0 is already the newest version.Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you haverequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstabledistribution that some required packages have not yet been createdor been moved out of Incoming.The following information may help to resolve the situation:The following packages have unmet dependencies: liblxc1 : Depends: libcgmanager0 (>= 0.28) but 0.24-0ubuntu7.5 is to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.Any advice? Or should I give up...Edit: I installed unity8 from community.linuxmint.org and I have a shell window but it's pretty broken...
