[solved] OpenMSX fails to run on 16.04

On Ubuntu MATE 16.04 the OpenMSX emulator fails to run. I've successfully ran it on previous versions of Ubuntu MATE for Raspberry PI, without any issue.

Apparently something got wrong with the dependent cbios package.

This error doesn't exist on any other version of Ubuntu. Only on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 for Raspberry PI.

See screenshot below:

Are you sure the roms are correctly installed? Where does openmsx looks for them?

Could you please post the output of

$dpkg -l |grep cbios

Hi Francesco,

Yes the cbios is a dependency of the OpenMSX package and installs it by default.

Here is the output:

marti@amturingpi:~$ dpkg -l |grep cbios
ii cbios 0.27-1 all open source MSX BIOS roms

Cheers!

I installed the latest update from Yakkety PROPOSED, which solved the problem.
