BlackBox installieren on Mint 20 - Ubuntu 20.04

[Zinn]

Today I install the Linux version of Blackbox on linux Mint 20 based on Ubuntu 20.04

wget http://deb.oberon.org/deb.oberon.org.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add deb.oberon.org.gpg.key
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
echo "deb http://deb.oberon.org/linux20 testing main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update

Thank you for the report. I will also upgrade my Mint this week and will check dependencies.

Now deb package has such dependencies description.

Code: Select all

Depends: libc6, libgtk2.0-0, gtk2-engines, gtk2-engines-murrine, libcanberra-gtk-module, gtk2-engines-pixbuf, libatk-adaptor, libgail-common, gnome-icon-theme:i386 | gnome-icon-theme:amd64, gnome-themes-extra | gnome-themes-standard

I upgraded my Mint today and installed BlackBox. There was no problems.

Helmut, maybe the reason is in the typo in repository URL?
It should be "http://deb.oberon.org/linux18" for 1.8 version or "http://deb.oberon.org/linux" for 1.7.

Code: Select all

wget http://deb.oberon.org/deb.oberon.org.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add deb.oberon.org.gpg.key
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
echo "deb http://deb.oberon.org/linux18 testing main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bbcb

Sorry Ivan, I still have trouble during the installation using the following commands

Code: Select all

wget http://deb.oberon.org/deb.oberon.org.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add deb.oberon.org.gpg.key
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
echo "deb http://deb.oberon.org/linux18 testing main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bbcb

After enter the last command I get the error message

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bbcb

I use a new installation of Mint 20 and not an update from 19.

Can you please run

Code: Select all

[Zinn]

here there are the result:

[sudo] password for walter:

Package gnome-themes-extra:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

[Ivan Denisov]

You are right! There are no such package anymore
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/gnome-themes-extra

I removed it from my Linux and now can not install back.

[Ivan Denisov]

I am working to solve this problem.

I updated control file for debian package. Now it should install from repository.
I could not find beautiful solution. Now it shows Gtk-WARNING in terminal. But this is better than nothing
