This answer is a bit rude and doesn't answer the original query.
It may be rude if you consider "who cares" rude, and prevents people from wasting their time while pointing out the actual issue, which is "old distro" which is too old to build darktable 4.2.
There is an unmet dependency in Ubuntu 20.04 and the latest release can no longer be built. See https://discuss.pixls.us/t/what-happened-with-the-obs-builds/33588/2?u=darix for more information.
Thanks for mass-confirming what I was writing. And scared users in that thread posted in November 2022, 7 months after release, that they still considered Ubuntu "new", when 22.04.1 was out and from-LTS-to-next-LTS upgrades had been enabled. Exactly the kind of support open-source maintainers want to be distracted with. I haven't even looked whether the OBS people are the same as the darktable people, but you'd think it best to move things forward rather than tying them up in the past. The thing is you can't have the cake and eat it, so everyone please stop pretending they could. Ubuntu 20.04 (code-named focal fossa) shipped darktable 3.0, and darktable being in the "universe" community-unmaintained package set... being stuck with older darktable is a choice that people made by NOT upgrading their Ubuntu LTS in the past three months. https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=focal&searchon=names&keywords=darktable And it's also either you choose a Ubuntu LTS distro and live with whatever unmaintained ("universe") package came with it, and be stuck with it, or you pick something that installs an app and all its distro deps redundantly in a distro (snap or flatpack, if available) with all the drawbacks of its isolation and bulk, or you need to move to a distro that is up to speed if your interest is "new software" and integrates such quickly. Rolling or frequent releases and distros exist, but that's not Ubuntu LTS, and possibly no Debian-based distro at all. Having said that, Fedora 37 or FreeBSD 13.1 built darktable 4.2 nicely for me. I wonder why all the world can expect everyone to maintain every new package for their museum piece of desktop distro install and NOT be considered rude. Expecting someone to maintain software or packages thereof for older distros, on a voluntary basis, free of charge, is what I consider egoistic and rude. It is an enormous waste of resources. ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
