Troubleshooting

If you are missing certain dependencies and when trying to install the binaries you are getting an error similar to:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'wire-sysio' instead of './wire-sysio-3.1.6_amd64.deb'
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:
 sysio : Depends: libssl1.1 but it is not installable
         Depends: libicu60 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

• Try and resolve it by looking for exact dependencies at Index of /ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl

• Find the exact version of libssl , in this case libssl1.1

• Download it:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1\~18.04.amd64.deb

• Install the downloaded package:

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.amd64.deb

Repeat the same for any other packages that appear in the error message.

wget http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb

After successfully installing all missing packages, attempt to install the binaries again.
