Dear FreeSurfer users,

I tried to install the newest version of FreeSurfer 7.3.2 on ubuntu 18.04.6 VB Image.

I have run the following commands before installing:

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

$ sudo apt-get install ./freesurfer_ubuntu18-7.3.2_amd64.deb

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Note, selecting 'freesurfer' instead of './freesurfer_ubuntu18-7.3.2_amd64.deb'

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

freesurfer : Depends: xorg-dev but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I even installed apititude to try installing the package, but the error was still there:

$ sudo aptitude install ./freesurfer_ubuntu18-7.3.2_amd64.deb

Couldn't find any package whose name is ".", but there are 33955 packages which contain "." in their name:

(too many to show, the limit is 40)

Unable to apply some actions, aborting

The previous version of 7.2.0 FreeSurfer was not imported successfully either. The appliance was 100% imported to the VB but there was none on the menu but another Ubuntu that I am trying to use.

Would someone kindly advise please?

I am running Windows 11.

Regards,

Krystal
