As you probably know, the original package of boxee does not work out of the box. If you tried to install boxe using dpkg -i you will se there is some dependency problems.
Here's what to do.
First you have to repackage the orinal Boxee and repair a broken dependancy:
dpkg-deb -x boxee-0.9.22.13692.i486.modfied.deb boxee
dpkg-deb --control boxee-0.9.22.13692.i486.modfied.deb
boxee/DEBIAN gedit boxee/DEBIAN/control
Then go change the libxmlrpc-c3 to libxmlrpc-c3-0
And repackage the new Boxee like this:
dpkg -b boxee boxee-works.deb
Then this would normaly work for Ubuntu 11.04 but fo 11.10 some other dependancies are broken:
Selecting previously deselected package boxee.
(Reading database ... 212104 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking boxee (from boxee-new.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of boxee:
boxee depends on libsdl-gfx1.2-4; however:
Package libsdl-gfx1.2-4 is not installed.
boxee depends on libtre4 | libtre5; however:
Package libtre4 is not installed.
Package libtre5 is not installed.
boxee depends on libhal1; however:
Package libhal1 is not installed.
boxee depends on libhal-storage1; however:
Package libhal-storage1 is not installed.
boxee depends on screen; however:
Package screen is not installed.
boxee depends on libxmlrpc-c3-0; however:
Package libxmlrpc-c3-0 is not installed.
boxee depends on xsel; however:
Package xsel is not installed.
dpkg: error processing boxee (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Processing triggers for gnome-menus ...
Processing triggers for bamfdaemon ...
Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf.index...
Errors were encountered while processing:
boxee
All you have left to do is install theses dependencies like this:
sudo apt-get install libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libtre5 libhal1 libhal-storage1 screen libxmlrpc-core-c3-0 libxmlrpc-c3-0 xsel
Note: In my case I'm not coming from a clean install of ubuntu 11.10 I upgraded from 11.04 so maybe there is other stuff to do or less stuff to do, please comment!
