Cherrytree: [Solved] Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 removed Cherrytree 0.39.3 and can't reinstall

[keesse]

After trying to reinstall cherrytree_0.39.3-0_all.deb with GDebi, I got the message: Error: Dependency is nog satisfiable: python-enchant.
I did a pip2 install of enchant, can import it from python 2.7.18, but still the install doesn't work.
When trying with dpkg, I get a lot more dependency problems:
dpkg -i cherrytree_0.39.3-0_all.deb

After upgrading pip2, I get the message:
pip2 install python-enchant
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip, can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-enchant (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for python-enchant

Is there any work around for this?
I guess there isn't a package for the new C++ version yet, but that is still in Beta...

Please use the snap package

[keesse]

Yes, installed the snap, now I can access my notes again :smiley:
@giuspen thanks!

Thanks, wasted too much time configuring pip for python2 and installing pyenchant on 20.04 just to get the following while installation.

The snap works just fine!

Is there any update on when the .deb will work, or when the new version will be available in the PPA?

[giuspen]

The .deb does work already, it's still under testing but quite robust already https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/#testing . To PPA as soon as we promote to stable.

I installed 0.99.7 yesterday on Windows, works fine, on some parts even
better the old version, e.g. code boxes.
Haven't tried the Linux version yet.
Markdown mode is also nice, hopefully more things will be supported (GFM).
@Giuseppe Penone [e-mail] well done!
