Asbru-cm: Missing dependencies on (k)ubuntu 18.10

[mirlipili]

Hello, I'm trying to install Ásbrú on Kubuntu 18.10.
Cosmic suttlefish is not yet supported by package cloud, so I ran:

wget https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/asbru-cm/asbru-cm/script.deb.sh
chmod +x script.deb.sh
sudo os=ubuntu dist=bionic ./script.deb.sh

which starts fine.

But there are 2 missing dependencies:

libgnome2-gconf-perl
libgtk2-unique-perl

Both can't be found in the repository.

Any Idea what I could do?

Thanks

Already answering my post.
One solution is to add the repository from 18.04.
I made a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and added the universe repository.

echo "deb http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bionic_beaver.list

and then the script works fine.
There probably is a better way to only add the 2 dependencies, but I didn't search further.

Thanks for your feedback and the workaround @mirlipili

This is not yet done but we may indeed want to add support for 18.10 on packagecloud ...

+1 hope support ubuntu 18.10

Actually, I added support for Cosmic a few weeks ago (see here) so it should work with the snapshot package that you can try with:

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/asbru-cm/snapshots/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install asbru-cm

Did not try myself so let us know if it works for you.

下列软件包有未满足的依赖关系：
 asbru-cm : 依赖: libgnome2-gconf-perl 但无法安装它
            依赖: libgtk2-unique-perl 但无法安装它
            依赖: libgnome2-vte-perl 但无法安装它
E: 无法修正错误，因为您要求某些软件包保持现状，就是它们破坏了软件包间的依赖关系。

libgnome2-gconf-perl libgtk2-unique-perl libgnome2-vte-perl missing

[gfrenoy]

I see. This is actually the same issue as #114. In that issue you'll find the necessary .deb.

I just built and uploaded the missing packages on the main Ásbrú repository. See https://github.com/asbru-cm/packages for details.

This should now work on Ubuntu Cosmic:

sudo apt-add-repository multiverse
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/asbru-cm/asbru-cm/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/asbru-cm/snapshots/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install asbru-cm

Whenever we release a new version, the "snapshots" will not be necessary anymore.

Let us know if it works for you.

It works, thanks a lot.
Hope the new release will be done soon.
Many thanks.
