[OpenFOAM.org] OpenFOAM 2.4.x installation on Ubuntu 14.04: cmake unmet dependency error

redbullah · August 30, 2018, 12:19

Following the instructions here, upon the command

Code:

apt-get install cmake

I get the following error afterwards:

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cmake : Depends: cmake-data (>= 2.8.12.2)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Does this affect the installation? Could not find the solution.

QUICK UPDATE:
I have simply run

Code:

sudo apt-get install cmake-data

and after I ran

Code:

sudo apt-get install cmake

. No errors so far, I'll update the post if any other error pops up during installation.
