[BUG] Not installable on debian bookworm.

[hdijkema]

Describe the bug

The latest released packages has dependencies to previous versions of a number of libraries:

apt install ./MusicPlayerPlus_3.0.1-3.deb
(...)
De volgende pakketten hebben niet-voldane vereisten:
 musicplayerplus : Vereisten: libavformat58 (>= 7:4.1) maar het is niet installeerbaar
                   Vereisten: libavfilter7 (>= 7:4.0) maar het is niet installeerbaar
                   Vereisten: libswresample3 (>= 7:4.0) maar het is niet installeerbaar
                   Vereisten: libavcodec58 (>= 7:4.2) maar het is niet installeerbaar
                   Vereisten: libswscale5 (>= 7:4.0) maar het is niet installeerbaar
                   Vereisten: libavdevice58 (>= 7:4.0) maar het is niet installeerbaar
                   Vereisten: libavutil56 (>= 7:4.0) maar het is niet installeerbaar
E: Kan problemen niet verhelpen, u houdt defecte pakketten vast.

To Reproduce

1. Download the latest release: MusicPlayerPlus_3.0.1-3.deb.
2. Install with apt.
3. See above.

Additional context

@hdijkema version 3.0.2 release 1 of MusicPlayerPlus may address this issue as I have modified dependencies to rely less on specific versions. A debian format installation package can be downloaded at https://github.com/doctorfree/MusicPlayerPlus/releases

This release of MusicPlayerPlus uses a Python virtual environment for compatibility with recent releases of several OS distributions. Unfortunately, this seems to have broken album cover art display in mpcplus. I'm working on addressing that but wanted to get this release out as it includes many bug fixes and enhancements. Album cover art display is disabled by default.

Please let me know if this fixes installation on Debian Bookworm as I do not have that distribution in my test matrix. Thanks for reporting this!

I tested the installation on debian 12.5, but there still seems to be a dependency problem. Next I upgraded my debian installation to 12.6 and tried again. Same problem.

Problem with apt:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Searching with aptitude results in:

@hdijkema I somehow missed libavfilter, thanks for catching that. A new Debian format package with the dependency now on libavfilter-dev is available at https://github.com/doctorfree/MusicPlayerPlus/releases/download/v3.0.2r2/MusicPlayerPlus_3.0.2-2.deb

Hopefully this fixes installation on Debian. If not, let me know.

Thanks. I've tried to install it today. Looks like it works now (debian 12.7).
