I am trying to install fbi on Debian 7.8 by using apt-get install fbi, but I get an error message containing the following:

 libgcc1 : Depends: gcc-5-base (= 5.5.1-14) but it is not installable.

Actually I get this message whenever I try to do anything related to installations using apt-get.

what could be the reason behind this error message?

Thanks in advance, Anas

I found that I had to install and configure some missing libraries, like gcc-5-base_5.3.1-6 and libgcc1_4.7.2-5 through the commands:

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-5/gcc-5-base_5.3.1-6_armhf.deb
dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure gcc-5-base_5.3.1-6_armhf.deb
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.7/libgcc1_4.7.2-5_armhf.deb
dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure libgcc1_4.7.2-5_armhf.deb

then I had to correct the dependencies through:

apt-get -f install

Then the problem was solved :)

This happens when there is a broken package in OS. So using following command you can fix it by updating the packages.

sudo apt-get update

But sometimes there could be errors in when updating. To avoid it find the repository which gives the error and remove the selected mark from the software and updates' other software menu.
