There seems to be  problem with the Raspbian download on the wsjtx web site labelled
Raspbian 10 Buster, ARMv6, ... : wsjtx_2.3.0-rc1_armhf.deb <https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx_2.3.0-rc1_armhf.deb>

This .deb file has dependencies (such as libgfortran v10), which are not available for the stable release Raspbian 10 Buster, so it fails to install.  Dependencies (in the right version) are only available for the testing release Bullseye. Would it be possible to make available a pre-build version (of this rc version, or, at least, of the final release) that can be installed directly on the current stable Raspbian Buster?

If not, maybe it is possible to update the description, indicating that this .deb requires Raspbian/Bullseye (helping to avoid failing attempts to install it on a Rasbian 10 Buster system)?

Hi Hansi,

that's a surprise. The package is built on what I thought was a standard Raspbian 10 (Buster) system. It reports this:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums";
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs";
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/debian_version
10.4
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 5.4.51-v7+ #1333 SMP Mon Aug 10 16:45:19 BST 2020 armv7l 
GNU/Linux
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ldd ~/wsjtx-prefix/Release/bin/wsjtx  | grep fortran
        libgfortran.so.5 => /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libgfortran.so.5 
(0x75ade000)

looks like there's an error in the package dependencies which I will fix. The binaries are not really dependant on libgfortran v10. You can either unpack the package and change the control file or build from sources. The next release will be corrected.

Thanks for the issue report.
