When Monero package from Debian bullseye/testing repo is installed the Monero gui is not working #3372

Open DeeDeeRanged opened 3 years ago

DeeDeeRanged commented 3 years ago

Installed the official monero package from Debian bullseye/testing, unable to install the Monero gui from whonix due to dependencies. The tarball monero-gui also only works when the official debian package is uninstalled.

I take it there is some cooperation going-on between devs and the Debian Cryptocoin Team team+cryptocoin@tracker.debian.org .

Would be nice to see monero-gui officially supported by Debian :)

I am unable to locate the package in Debian 11. Can you provide me the direct link please?

Hi, The link is here https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/monero Do note it is the monero-cli and monerod.

Succes ;)

The https://gitlab.com/whonix/monero-gui package has been created by me (but of course I didn't create monero or monero-gui, only the package which is a tiny source code size by comparison).

I wasn't previously aware of this ticket. Hence late answer. If things are reported to https://gitlab.com/whonix/monero-gui or if I am @adrelanos mentioned then I'll reply much quicker.

As for the issue.

dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-iaStKd/10-monero_0.17.2.0+~ 0+20200826-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/monero-blockchain-ancestry', which is also in pac kage monero-gui 0.17.3.0.0-1

https://gitlab.com/whonix/monero-gui doesn't need to be co-installed with https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/monero

https://gitlab.com/whonix/monero-gui contains both, CLI and GUI.

Use either:

There should be no need to install both at the same time.

Installed the official monero package from Debian bullseye/testing, unable to install the Monero gui from whonix due to dependencies. The tarball monero-gui also only works when the official debian package is uninstalled.

https://gitlab.com/whonix/monero-gui won't ever be in packages.debian.org. https://gitlab.com/whonix/monero-gui has no contact with Debian Cryptocoin Team. Reasons: See the history... https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/adrelanos-debian-package.html

The tarball monero-gui also only works when the official debian package is uninstalled.

For that I recommend a separate issue and not mixing it into this issue. I also recommend posting the full links to what package you're talking about to avoid confusion.
