Installation fails on ubuntu 10.17 with this error:

Package libqt5qml-graphicaleffects is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

What's the best way to satisfy that dependency?

badp commented 7 years ago

Is it possible that that package is now qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects?

jeffehobbs commented 7 years ago

Maybe? That seemed promising until actually installing cool-retro-term, then the error becomes:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Well, yes, qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects is sufficient to build from source, but the .deb package is still referencing a package that doesn't exist.

Yes! After installing qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects, downloading and building from source works perfectly. Thanks very much!
