Trying to upgrade from MC22 to MC25 on Mint 17.2 Rafaela. Following the instructions here https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120022.0.html I get through everything until the install step. I keep getting these errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mediacenter25 : Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.28)
                 Depends: libuuid1 (>= 2.25) but 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.9 is to be installed
                 Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.9) but 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4 is to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I've tried the suggested fix of sudo apt-get install -f but that just shows this and nothing is fixed:

No clue what to do now.

Mint 17 is from 2014, its probably too old for MC25. We're currently designing MC against Debian Jessie, which was released in 2015, so a bit newer then yours - but still plenty old to cover most systems, or so we thought!

You could upgrade to Mint 19, but be sure to know what you are doing.

Just want to say I appreciate the response Hendrik. Yes, probably time to upgrade my version of Mint. Thankfully I only use this installation of MC to play from a remote library and I don't use the computer for much else. Easy enough to wipe clean and start over, I suppose. Thanks again.

And now MC 25 is installed and playing music on Mint 19.1!
