[Ifeffit] Demeter on ubuntu 14.04

[Edmund Welter]

Dear Bruce, Robert,

thanks for the hints. I just installed Larch, it is running (meaning I 
can start the larch_gui) and the last error message, the one concerning 
Larch disappeared. All the others are still there.

Anyway, I am just now upgrading to 16.04. I do not think that the 
problem is caused by Demeter or by 14.04 (Demeter was running on 14.04). 
I think I broke something in my ubuntu. Several packages which are vital 
for Demeter are reported as broken in /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log

The last entry way "libalien-wxwidgets-perl". This broken package 
actually blocked the distribution upgrade and I had to remove it before 
i could continue.

Well let's see, the next step will be a fresh install of 16.04....

Cheers,

Edmund
