I installed 16.04 a few days ago and had to reinstall some apps. One of them was avidemux. After I installed it from the Software Center, I couldn't get it to work properly. It wouldn't even load a video clip before giving me an error message and closing.

After trying many commands to purge the avidemux files, I still can't get it to reinstall from the Software Center...

Any tips?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/avidemux1
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install avidemux

  • Many error-messages, and in fact only Qt4 (to see movies but not edit) is running. – Peter Krauss Apr 14 '17 at 20:26
  • A problem with avidemux2.6-jobs. See apt and

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that You asked for an impossible situation or, if you are using the Unstable distribution, that some required packages were not Still created or were removed from the "Incoming". The following information may help resolve the situation:

    The following packages have mismatched dependencies: Avidemux2.6-qt: Depends: avidemux2.6-jobs but will not install E: Impossible to fix problems, you kept (hold) broken packages.

  • PS: after sudo apt install avidemux an error about avidemux-qt dependence (and avidemux-qt was not installed). – Peter Krauss Apr 16 '17 at 11:16
