Installation on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS broken due to obsolete dependencies

juozaspo commented 4 years ago

After building fslint for Ubuntu using the method described in the site I cannot install the package any more since it requires packages named python-gtk2 & python-glade2 that are no longer available as they depends on obsolete python packages already removed from repositories. You should fix the dependencies or provide an alternate method to run and/or install fslint.

Related issue on LP - https://pad.lv/1785845 . Temporary installation fix from AskUbuntu:

mkdir -p ~/Downloads/fslint
cd ~/Downloads/fslint
wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-glade2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fslint/fslint_2.46-1_all.deb

sudo apt-get install ./*.deb

Same here, dependencies are broken

Thanks so much! I just installed fslint on my HPELITEBook under Ubuntu 20.04. All well :>)

Thank You

mixpc commented 3 years ago

@N0rbert thank you for providing a workaround. Any estimated date when fslint will be available in Ubuntu 20.10? Or at least ported to python3? Thank you and regards,

stuaxo commented 3 years ago

@mixpc python2 -> python3 isn't too much of an issue when it comes to porting.

Porting from Gtk2 -> Gtk3 is more of a painful (and you may as well just skip straight to Gtk4 so there is longevity).

The other dependency is Glade. Gtk Builder is now in favour instead of Glade, so going forward it would make sense to port to GtkBuilder as well.

Using the updated workaround provided by @N0rbert above, I get the following result: . . . apt-get install ./*.deb

@Valtarien check your repositories first, if it is 20.10 - then use:

mkdir -p ~/Downloads/fslint
cd ~/Downloads/fslint
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libf/libffi/libffi7_3.3-4_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygobject-2/python-gobject-2_2.28.6-14ubuntu1_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install ./*.deb

I actually just tried this after referencing it from your post on https://askubuntu.com/a/1233818. Using:

mkdir -p ~/Downloads/fslint
cd ~/Downloads/fslint
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libf/libffi/libffi7_3.3-4_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygobject-2/python-gobject-2_2.28.6-14ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pycairo/python-cairo_1.16.2-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb

wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-glade2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fslint/fslint_2.46-1_all.deb

sudo apt-get install ./*.deb

. . . worked! Thanks!

MilamberValheru commented 3 years ago

There is a working tool named Czkawka, that is a reimplementation of fslint written in rust ( https://qarmin.github.io/czkawka/ )

igor-cali commented 3 years ago

@pixelb I wonder if Fslint is still maintained (last commit on early 2019). I really like it and using for years. Is there any chance to have it migrated to active dependencies?

Thanks!

pixelb commented 3 years ago

@igor-cali I don't really have time for it TBH. https://qarmin.github.io/czkawka/ is a more modern port (using rust) that looks promising

bugith commented 2 years ago

For the ones who find czkawka is too difficult to pronounce and do not like one changes their coffee flavour and are faithful to Pádraig's job we now have a snap: https://github.com/tgagor/fslint-snap

N0rbert commented 2 years ago

Thanks, the https://snapcraft.io/fslint-unofficial looks theoretically good. I see removable-media plug in place, so it is viable.
