Public bug reported: I did a minimal install of Ubuntu 18.04. Initially, although apt claimed that gparted was already installed, the binary didn't seem to exist. I removed it and reinstalled it, but it seems to be missing dependencies:
Running "sudo gparted": /usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Running "sudo apt-get install -f": 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. I had to remove libgtkmm-2.4-1v5, which also removed gparted, and then reinstall gparted, which seems to have correctly installed the libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 library. I had to do something similar with libatkmm-1.6-1v5, libpangomm-1.4-1v5, libglibmm-2.4-1v5. Doing this seems to fix it: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libcairomm-1.0-1v5 libglibmm-2.4-1v5 libsigc++-2.0-0v5 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772317 Title: Missing dependency libgtkmm for gparted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1772317/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
