      I'm installing RP on a clean Ubuntu build. The only packages I installed before starting the steps on the wiki were to install and configure ssh.

      Once the repo was cloned and the basic install finished this message came up.

      Anyone know if there is any logs of the install process I can look at to see what went wrong? I looked through the wiki but couldn't find any docs.

        @lpg Logs are stored under $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs. Check there for what errors occur during package installation.

          @mitu It looks like there were some dependencies missing that we're causing the issue.

          user@user-OptiPlex-5060:~$ sudo apt-get install -f libgbm-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libqt5widgets5 : Depends: libqt5gui5 (>= 5.12.5) but it is not going to be installed or
                           libqt5gui5-gles (>= 5.12.5) but it is not going to be installed
 libqt5x11extras5 : Depends: libqt5gui5 (>= 5.12.8+dfsg~) but it is not going to be installed or
                             libqt5gui5-gles (>= 5.12.8+dfsg~) but it is not going to be installed
 qt5-gtk-platformtheme : Depends: libqt5gui5 (>= 5.10.0) but it is not going to be installed or
                                  libqt5gui5-gles (>= 5.10.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

          To fix this, I ended up installing aptitude and installing the missing packages simply because aptitude gives much better verbose output for dependency issues as well as a simple way to resolve the conflict.

          user@user-OptiPlex-5060:~$ sudo aptitude install  libgbm-dev
