Dependency is not satisfiable: qt5-default

There is no package qt5-default in the repository.

Update. This is a work-around:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install equivs

cd ~/Downloads
cat <<EOF > qt5-default-control
Package: qt5-default
Source: qtbase-opensource-src
Version: 5.99.99+fake-13ubuntu37
Architecture: all
Depends: qtbase5-dev, qtchooser
Suggests: qt5-qmake, qtbase5-dev-tools
Conflicts: qt4-default
Section: libdevel
Priority: optional
Homepage: http://qt-project.org/
Description: Qt 5 development defaults fake package
EOF

equivs-build qt5-default-control
sudo apt-get install ./qt5-default_5.99.99+fake-13ubuntu37_all.deb

Then sudo gdebi forscape_0.0.1_amd64.deb installs. Launch the application using the name Forscape.

To be honest, the .deb package is neglected compared to the windows .exe. There needs to be pipeline runner jobs to make the .deb and .exe artifacts, and verify that they work for target platforms.

In the mean time, you need to build from source to try the latest version on Linux.
