Cannot install Handbrake in 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10

Question

When I go into Synaptic and try to install the handbrake-gtk, after it gives me the list of all the other packages it has to install, I get this message:

The following packages have unresolved dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the 'Repositories' option under 'Settings'

handbrake-gtk:i386: Depends: libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 but it is not going to be installed

I tried installing in the terminal but that wouldn't work either, I think for the same reason.

Now using the pages http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/webkit_team?dist=precise and http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/webkit_team/precise/main/base/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 and the terminal I supposedly added and install the libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 package, but whenever I go back into Synaptic and try to install Handbrake I still get the same error message.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

What I did was the following:

Since using any of the 2 PPAs in: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins was actually not working for 64 bit systems, I just went and downloaded the package. In my case I did the following:

1. Used the Handbrake Snapshot PPA found here

2. Click on View Package Details

   

3. Select the Ubuntu version you are using, then click on Filter

   

4. Click on the most updated Package available there. In this case there is only one. It should expand to show everything related to that package.

   

5. Go down until you get to where all packages for each Architecture are shown. Download the ones that are for your version. In this case, the ones that say amd64 are for 64 Bit systems.

   

6. After downloading both (The CLI and GUI Versions), simply double click them. Software Center will take care of the rest.

The end result should be something like this:

This is what I did on 12.04, 12.10 and even on 13.04 using the 12.10 package. All cases with 64 Bit PCs.
