Re: [wsjt-devel] wsjtx_2.2.0-rc2_amd64.deb install fails on wsjtx_icon.png

Hi Jeff,
you have two viable options, build from sources, or wait for the package maintainers to make WSJT-X 2.2.0 available for your distribution version. We, the WSJT-X development team, only build a single package targeted at one commonly used distribution version. Currently Ubuntu 20.4.0 has no easy upgrade path, nor are users of earlier versions informed that there is an upgrade available. That happens at the .1 release when we will switch to building our release package targeting 20.04.1 LTS. 


Building from sources is not hard, much easier than the option many will 
suggest of installing packages like libgfortran3 on a system that comes 
with libgfortran5.

Hi Bill and Christoph,

Thanks for the help.


Removing all the wsjtx packages improved the situation. dpkg now 
installs wsjtx incompletely and leaves a broken package.  Ubuntu 20.04 
has libgfortran5 by default, 4 is available and 3 is not.  For 
libreadline, 8 is the default and 5 is available.


Is there a way to fix this?

    The Debian package is split into wsjtx, wsjtx-data, and wsjtx-doc.

    This specific version is the one included in Ubuntu focal.
