Hi guys
Referring to this thread http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=11784.0
I have the same issue with Peppermint 5 only I can’t use the fix as it wont allow me to tick the box for “Pre-release updates (trusty proposed)” I tried installing the packages nonetheless but it’s made no difference
Graeme
Can you post the contents of your:
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
What we’re looking for is a line similar to:
deb Index of /ubuntu trusty-proposed main multiverse restricted universe
# deb cdrom:[Peppermint 5 _Five_ - Release amd64 (20140617.2)]/ trusty main multiverse restricted universe

# newer versions of the distribution.

Looks like the line you’re looking for is the very last entry
Many thanks
Graeme
OK, so if proposed is enabled … what happens if you move on to the next part of the instructions:-
ie.:
sudo apt-get update
then:
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0 python-pil rcs graphviz-doc libosmgpsmap-dev python3-bsddb3 python-pygoocanvas gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0-9 python-pyexiv2 python-osmgpsmap gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 libosmgpsmap-1.0-0
Then try Gramps ?
OK, so if proposed is enabled .. what happens if you move on to the next part of the instructions:-
the problem is I can’t enable "Pre released updates (trusty-proposed) because when i tick the checkbox a box pops up looking for my password when I enter the password the tick disappears if I try to tick it again it just keeps disappearing and clearing the checkbox
In other words the tick wont stick 
what happens if you move on to the next part of the instructions:-
This is what happens after running sudo apt-get update
graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0 python-pil rcs graphviz-doc libosmgpsmap-dev python3-bsddb3 python-pygoocanvas gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0-9 python-pyexiv2 python-osmgpsmap gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 libosmgpsmap-1.0-0
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libosmgpsmap-1.0-0-dev' for regex 'libosmgpsmap-1.0-0'
Package gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0' has no installation candidate

Download and install these 2 files (depending on your architecture)
32bit:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/166749965/gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0_1.0.1-3_i386.deb
and
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/166749963/libosmgpsmap-1.0-0_1.0.1-3_i386.deb
or
64 bit:-
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/166749821/gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0_1.0.1-3_amd64.deb
and
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/166749819/libosmgpsmap-1.0-0_1.0.1-3_amd64.deb
once installed, run:
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0 python-pil rcs graphviz-doc libosmgpsmap-dev python3-bsddb3 python-pygoocanvas gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0-9 python-pyexiv2 python-osmgpsmap
Gramps (4.0.4 from the repos) should work properly now
Thanks Mark that got rid of 2 of them but I’s still reporting 1 missing dependency (see screenshot)
Many thanks
Graeme
Try:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 libgexiv2-2
BTW, I’ve deleted your screenshot … can you please host them elsewhere and link to the pics 
(I don’t want to fill up the server space with stuff that’s not 100% necessary)
Yep that’s sorted it
Thank you very much
Graeme
You’re wonkum
Damn … you correct your spelling … so that makes little sense now :o
