I am running Kubuntu 12.04 and I tried to install openshot via Muon Software Centre which failed so I tried through Terminal, that failed too.
I get;
pooky2483@pooky2483-Kubuntu-1204-3:~$ sudo apt-get install openshot

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.
openshot : Depends: python-mlt3 but it is not going to be installed or
python-mlt2 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
pooky2483@pooky2483-Kubuntu-1204-3:~$
I’ve tried other solutions…
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Anyone got any ideas what to try next to fix it.
What error do you get with:
sudo apt-get install python-mlt3
Edit: By the look of the openshot error, that package may be broken as it refers to both python-mlt3 & python-mlt2
Edit 2: mlt2 is only available in lucid, and mlt3 is only available in precise. Try:
sudo apt-get install python-mlt
That’s available in trusty, and may do the job…?
I think in precise you have to install python-mlt3 before openshot … so try:
sudo apt-get remove --purge openshot
then
sudo apt-get install python-mlt3
then
sudo apt-get install openshot
Mark, I get to stage 2 and get this…

I can install python-mlt but not mlt3
OK, as chemicalfan said … try:
sudo apt-get install python-mlt
then:
sudo apt-get install openshot
Afraid that didn’t work…
pooky2483@pooky2483-Kubuntu-1204-3:~$ sudo apt-get install python-mlt

python-mlt is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
python-pygoocanvas recordmydesktop
Use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove them.

Can you run:
sudo apt-get install -f openshot
Hoping it might install the package regardless of the unmet dependency (as I think it’s met by python-mlt, it’s just the package info that’s broken)
Nope… I get;

There’s a similar bug registered here - Bug #1009409 “openshot conflicts with kdenlive, and libmlt4 with...” : Bugs : mlt package : Ubuntu
Hasn’t been updated for a while, no mention of 14.04 but seems to still apply.
Try adding the Openshot PPA - OpenShot Video Editor | PPA Instructions and then updating and trying to install it again
That didn’t work, failed at the last command…

I’ve been an idiot, I was sure you were running Kubuntu 14.04, not 12.04 :-[
Ok, so what happens if you run:
sudo apt-get install -f libmlt++3
Still unable to install openshot…
Sorry Mark, just been getting the same errors as earlier.
What’s the output from:
apt-cache search python-mlt
pooky2483@pooky2483-Kubuntu-1204-3:~$ apt-cache search python-mlt
python-mlt3 - multimedia framework (python bindings)
python-mlt - multimedia framework (python bindings)
python-mlt6 - multimedia framework (python bindings)

I don’t know if any of this is related as I tried to install openshot before messing with TOR, I installed…
tor-browser (4.0.1-1~webupd8~0)
tor-geoipdb (0.2.2.35-1,automatic)
tor-dbg (0.2.2.35-1)
torsocks (1.2-1,automatic)
tor (0.2.2.35-1,automatic)
But have since removed them.
I also have imageshack installed as an extension but it doesn’t show up on the browser yet it shows as installed and when looking for add-ons and extensions, imageshack comes up as installable, not as installed!
.
So what happens if you try to run:
sudo apt-get install python-mlt3
pooky2483@pooky2483-Kubuntu-1204-3:~$ sudo apt-get install python-mlt3
