failed to install packages

Trying to install video for linux on my pi2:

Any suggestions on how to fix, please?

Loading thread data ...

# apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade

and if you've not done it:

# apt-get dist-upgrade

then re-run the install

Essentially the package you want depends on newer versions of something else.

Have you installed a new kernel, but not rebooted yet?

Does the file /lib/modules/3.18.5-v7+/modules.dep.bin exist?

If it does, what are the permissions on it (ls -l)?

Thanks, Gordon, but sadly not.

I'd done the first two, but not the dist-upgrade. I've now done that, and nothing was upgraded. Still getting the error. Guess there's a problem with the repository. Bah!

Indeed! Is there anywhere to report such things?

No, frequent reboots

No; the modules directory contains 3.18.7-v7+, as I'd expect from root@picam1:~# uname -a Linux picam1 3.18.7-v7+ #755 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 12 17:20:48 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

I guess there's a repo problem.

On the forums...

Only other thing I can think is to run

# rpi-update

to bring in the latest foundation kernel & modules...

Thanks, Gordon; that seems to have fixed it.
