Cherrytree: CherryTree installation problem on Debian 10

[RicoSpm]

Hi @giuspen ,

I'm facing the following issue, while installing cherrytree_0.38.9-0_all.deb

Selezionato il pacchetto cherrytree non precedentemente selezionato.
(Lettura del database... 183783 file e directory attualmente installati.)
Preparativi per estrarre cherrytree_0.38.9-0_all.deb...
Estrazione di cherrytree (0.38.9-0)...

Sorry for the italian, but I installed Debian in Italian.

Ciao Rico, in the download section https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/#downl it is mentioned this problem and the solution:
NOTE: Debian stable does not have python-gtksourceview2; install the oldstable manually from https://packages.debian.org/stretch/python-gtksourceview2 (new gtkmm3 version coming soon…)

[asias]

@giuspen Does gtkmm3 version mean a cherrytree rewrite with c++? After this, no more dependency on python bindings?

[giuspen]

@asias yes correct

Hi, so im on Tails 4.2.2 which is Debian 10. Installing CherryTree gives me:

Unable to locate package cherrytree

And installing python-gtksourcevuew2 gives error:

Package 'python-gtksourceview2' has no installation candidate

Any solutions to these errors? I really like CherryTree and think it's the best note-taking app out there. But I can't use it on Tails anymore ever since Debian 10.

Hi! Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately I get this error while executing the CherryTree package installation command:

amnesia@amnesia:~$ sudo dpkg -i cherrytree_0.38.9-0_all.deb
dpkg-deb: error: 'cherrytree_0.38.9-0_all.deb' is not a Debian format archive
dpkg: error processing archive cherrytree_0.38.9-0_all.deb (--install):
dpkg-deb --control subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
cherrytree_0.38.9-0_all.deb

I used to just do 'sudo apt install cherrytree' while Tails OS was still Debian 9, but not anymore. Is there an estimated date when Cherry Tree will have a stable package in Debian 10?

[giuspen]

Cherrytree is also in the snap store https://snapcraft.io/cherrytree

@OneTrue902

I created a Debian 10 virtual machine and Tails 4.2.2 virtual machine, but am unable to reproduce the error you're receiving in either environment. Sorry, but I'm not sure what's causing it.

[conniest]

@giuspen the snap doesn't work on Buster (Debian 10).

[giuspen]

I hope that if you manually install python-gtksourceview2, that allows you to then install the Debian package from giuspen.com

Instructions on reddit (which I haven't tried, but look plausible): "You can install python-gtksourceview2 https://packages.debian.org/stretch/python-gtksourceview2 manually and the install Cherrytree from the site https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/#downl "

@giuspen Hi, any idea when it will work with GTK3? Debian Testing Bullseye the flatpak and snap are not working, dev-master branch is also not working, thanks

[giuspen]

Hi @yssoe we already have a GTK3 version under testing, interested to try it? Can you build yourself or you need a package?

[yssoe]

@giuspen oh great, yeah i can test and build it for you and report issues, thanks!

[giuspen]

If you can build yourself clone and see https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree/blob/master/future/README.md

[yssoe]

@giuspen Thanks, worked great! Cheers

[giuspen]

Thanks to you please report any issue 😉
