I'm trying to make something to pull articles from RSS feeds and convert them to text files to post to the BBS. I found at least part of the solution, but I'm getting an error trying to install necessary libraries.

Any ideas how to get passed this? I've tried sudo apt install --fix-broken
but nothing happened.

this should not happen. which ubuntu is it? have you done a "apt update" before? and why not Python 3? Python 2 is EOL.

Ubuntu 20.4 LTS.

I finally figured out the problem and fixed it. Although off hand I don't recall exactly how.

Python 2.7 I think is the version that Mystic uses for it's python mods, if
I'm not mistaken, which is why I'm using it. If I manage to get it working
lije I want it, I figured it would be easiest using it as a daily event in Mystic that way.

I may be incorrect with that, but I'm still figuring a lot of things out.

Hi, what is the name of the original package you are trying to install?
