when installing tableplus I got this error:

sudo apt update sudo apt install tableplus

The following packages have unmet dependencies: zlib1g-dev : Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu9) but 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu9.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Ubuntu pushed a minor update to the zlib1g package, but tableplus expects a specific version. Maybe, remove the specific version requirement in the debian/control file of tableplus?

Thanks let me check it.

huyphams commented 1 year ago

Hmm, we don't require or specific libz version anywhere in the source code. It could be a dependency of a gtk source code. Let me check which one wants the libz.

It's good that you don't need the specific version in tge source code. The specific version might be there in the dependency section of the debian/control file which you created during packaging the app. You can remove the version number requirement in debian/control, and repackage.

I am still kinda new to ubuntu enviroment, so how can I remove the specific version requirement in the debian/control file of tableplus?

archisman-panigrahi commented 1 year ago

Can you paste the contents of the debian/control file of your debian source package?

huyphams commented 1 year ago

You can just install with the -f flag, it will ignore the error. I think TablePlus is still working. sudo apt install -f tableplus

SuhaibMaraqa commented 1 year ago

Where can I find the debian/control file?

SuhaibMaraqa commented 1 year ago

it didn't ignore the error, is there any other fixes?

archisman-panigrahi commented 1 year ago

Where can I find the debian/control file?

You don't have it (I thought I was replying to the package maintainer). The developers who packaged the app would have it.

@huyphams Can you please look into this?

How can I remove the specific version from the 'debian/control` file of tableplus?

SuhaibMaraqa commented 1 year ago

I downgraded to 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu9 with

$ sudo apt install zlib1g=1:1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu9

and it got installed but Tableplus is not launching.

Still only providing a Deb package after all these years is peak laziness. If a small amount of time was spent to say set up a flatpak of tableplus, this would be a non-issue. It's not the first time TablePlus for linux has had dependency issues on it's extremely limited set of supported distros.
