I just switched to Debian following the recent release of version 9. I do a lot of work with RStudio and thus tried to install the stable and testing versions which both failed due to the missing library "libgstreamer0.10-0". It appears that a more recent version of that package is installed but 0.10-0 is not available in stretch. Is there a way to install RStudio despite the missing package? Help is much appreciated. Apologies if this is not the right place to ask this question.

OS: Debian 9
RStudio: 1.0.143-amd64

Edit:

Installation was performed using gdebi.

Edit 2:

After installing libgstreamer0.10 and libgstreamer-base-0.10 as described in the linked question I now get libssl1.0.0 as a not satisfiable dependency in gdebi.

Edit 3:

Get lissl1.0.0 from here and install. After that Rstudio installs and runs fine (I'll report back if I encounter problems).

  • What is your Rstudio version? - - Please, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/43586708/54964 – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Jun 25 '17 at 16:26
  • Please, describe how you installed RStudio. I think I have had this problem before and there is a solution to it. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Jun 25 '17 at 16:39
  • I just downloaded the latest deb package from their website and tried to install it using gdebi. It said that the dependencies could not be met naming the above-mentioned package. – Daniel Winkler Jun 25 '17 at 17:01

    I tried the accepted solution of the question you linked. That seems to satisfy the libgstreamer situation but now it requires ```libssl1.0.0``` which seems to be ```libssl1.0.2``` in stretch. At this point I think I'll just wait until Rstudio gets updated to not depend out of date software. I'm not super comfortable installing and holding a lot of libraries I don't fully understand. – Daniel Winkler Jun 25 '17 at 17:13
  • Yes, that should also be an easy problem with `libssl1.0.0`, since I think I have had it too. RStudio is already well updated and should work fine in your system too. Please, do not leave this thread a stub. - - Please, provide me the logs what you get now with `libssl...`. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Jun 25 '17 at 17:42

An updated version of RStudio is available for Ubuntu 16.04+ and Debian 9+ (both 64-bit only) on their download page.

Using this version, installation runs smoothly with sudo gdebi rstudio-xenial-1.1.350-amd64.deb on Debian 9.1. :)

I think RStudio 1.0.143 is sufficient for Debian 9. You just have to fix a few packges there. Do and please report us what you get from step (2)

  1. Fix libgstreamer0.10-0 problem as described in the thread here

  2. Fix libssl1.0.0 problem.

    Download libssl1.0.0 from here

  3. Install libssl1.0.0, install Rstudio

  4. Enjoy Rstudio ;)

Alternative Answer:

  1. Install libgstreamer0.10-0 & libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 according to the accepted answer here

  2. cd into the directory with the rstudio deb file and Run (replace XXX with package version): 

    dpkg --ignore-depends=libssl1.0.0 -i rstudio-1.0.XXX-amd64.deb

  3. Run (replace nano with your editor if you feel like it):

    sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/status

  4. Find the rstudio entry and delete libssl1.0.0 from the Depends: ... line

  5. Enjoy Rstudio

  • I visited the link you left in the first point, but I did better following [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44851086/2069269) (which is the currently accepted one, as I write this) than the one you suggested. I basically downloaded the preview R package, installed and then run it. – Acsor Jul 18 '17 at 16:29
  • That is great. Preview didn't work yet when I wrote the answer. Or at least I failed to run it. – Daniel Winkler Jul 18 '17 at 16:53
