@braewoods Need to update your Debian repo?

[braewoods]

@wchen342 Nope. This is because they tried to install via dpkg. That only works if the dependencies are already installed. They are missing some dependencies that need to be installed first. The output says as much.

[PF4Public]

Oh right, @k3VTSjczL3 you should add another apt sources entry and not install .deb manually.

[wchen342]

@braewoods Oh yes you are right. Haven't played with debian based system for a while.

[grande-mephistopheles]

Oh right, @k3VTSjczL3 you should add another apt sources entry and not install .deb manually.

I have installed some dependencies (libjsoncpp1 and libminizip1) manually but cannot install ungoogled-chromium-commoon . @braewoods where am I going to get these missing dependencies? Is this only for Ubuntu and Debian? My preconfigured Linux Mint repositories does not have it apparently.

You have to add the repo to your software sources:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ungoogled_chromium/Ubuntu_Bionic/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:ungoogled_chromium.list
sudo wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ungoogled_chromium/Ubuntu_Bionic/Release.key -O "/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home:ungoogled_chromium.asc"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ungoogled-chromium

Unfortunately there is no localization (yet?).

I have Linux Mint 19.3 Mate and have not encountered unmet dependencies...

Ohhh silly ME. The repositories in the OBS is for Ubuntu 20.04 (aka Focal Fossa).
I should have checked the 2nd repo under it. Sorry for being dumb
Works now.
