meld 'Bad Install' = 3.15 fails on Linux Mint 18 #34

Closed aplatypus closed 6 years ago

aplatypus commented 7 years ago

I have just used apt-get to install the latest available meld version on LinuxMint 18 with Cinnamon desktop.

In the Gui, when I select two files to compare the window just sits there. Nothing happens. So I ran meld from the command line and it gives me some warnings and an error, summarising:

One thing that also puzzles me is that the apt-get shows the .deb package installing as:

While the meld --version and the meld GUI report version as:

Which one is the true one?

To me that example refutes the report of a "bad install". In addition the mismatch of GTK versions sounds suspicious too. Is there an alternatives repository so I can find a later and function version?
