3 years ago I dropped this dependency from boostnote_0.16.1_amd64.deb and it can be installed, and run without any issues.
The modified deb file can be downloaded from this link -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i6ydByXFvEkvLEvwZAuzwYZMQa97ajc8/view?usp=sharing

3 years ago If you have already attempted to install boostnote, remove it:
sudo apt remove bootsnote
Then, install it without the gvfs-bin dependency:
sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=gvfs-bin -i boostnote_0.16.1_amd64.deb
apt will probably complain about broken dependencies. Resolve by running:
sudo apt install -f
Then, modify the file /var/lib/dpkg/status:
sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/status
Search the file for 'boostnote' and remove 'gvfs-bin' from its list of dependencies.
After upgrade to Ubuntu 20.10, Boostnote disappeared from the system. On attempting to reinstall the latest .deb package, found that now it has an unmet dependency: gvfs-bin This package has been removed because it's deprecated so it won't be re-added.
