Possible way to compile VTE version from Hirsute on Impish is the following:
``` sudo sed -i "s/# deb-src/deb-src/g" /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get build-dep vte2.91 cd /tmp apt-get source vte2.91 cd ~/Downloads wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vte2.91/vte2.91_0.62.3.orig.tar.gz tar -xf vte2.91_0.62.3.orig.tar.gz cd vte-0.62.3 wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vte2.91/vte2.91_0.62.3-1ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz tar -xf vte2.91_0.62.3-1ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz rm vte2.91_0.62.3-1ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz cp -v /tmp/vte2.91-0.64.2/src/vtetypebuiltins.{h,cc}.template src/ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b ``` and then we can install this older VTE version on Impish as follows: ``` sudo apt-get install ../*vte*.deb ``` As the result it will work as expected with Gdebi! Success! For local system it may be pinned using the following long command: ``` cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin-meld Package: gir1.2-vte-2.91 Pin: version 0.62.3-1ubuntu1 Pin-Priority: 1337 Package: libvte-2.91-0 Pin: version 0.62.3-1ubuntu1 Pin-Priority: 1337 Package: libvte-2.91-common Pin: version 0.62.3-1ubuntu1 Pin-Priority: 1337 Package: libvte-2.91-dev Pin: version 0.62.3-1ubuntu1 Pin-Priority: 1337 Package: libvte-2.91-doc Pin: version 0.62.3-1ubuntu1 Pin-Priority: 1337 EOF ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946499 Title: installation of deb-packages with gdebi-gtk shows "dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor" in gdebi terminal, package is not installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1946499/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
