Can't install on ubuntu 24.04 #3675

Open jibon0070 opened 5 months ago

jibon0070 commented 5 months ago

when we try to run command

sudo dpkg -i git-butler_0.11.5_amd64.deb

It throws an error saying

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of git-butler:
 git-butler depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37; however:
  Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not installed.

but in ubuntu 24.04 it's not possible to use libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37; in ubuntu 24.04 libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 installed by default

please help we are addicted to both ubuntu 24.04 and gitbutler

Hey there, sorry you're hitting this. I'm not sure what the workaround for this is at the present moment; we don't control those dependencies, those are all handled by the Tauri project.

It looks like tauri-apps/tauri#9662 is reporting it already. Sorry you're hitting it!

I'll subscribe there myself, and if there's any action we can take with e.g. our confs or something I'll do so and push out a fix pronto.

Thanks for the issue :)

Found a work around

add deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main line to /etc/apt/sources.list file. then

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

finally

sudo dpkg -i git-butler_0.11.7_amd64.deb
