Linux Mint 22

@"Crimson Nape" :
I have no write access (only read one) to the official git.

In the file mkOSDistDeb-NN.sh (It is only use by Linux)

Can you add a line

Code:

getPkg libqt5core
qtver=$PKGVERS

to become

Code:

getPkg libqt5core
qtver=$PKGVERS
corePkg=$PKGNAME

Can you modify mkOSDistDeb-NN.sh to change

Code:

--depends "libqt5core5a >= 5.9"   \

with

Code:

--depends "${corePkg} >= ${qtver}"   \

Code:

echo "QT version " $qtver
echo "DblConv package " $dblPkg

become

Code:

echo "QT name version " $corePkg $qtver
echo "DblConv package " $dblPkg

The purpose is to use libqt5core5a or libqt5core5t64 (depends on the one present on the computer - I have not test if both are presents) with a version above or equal to the one use to build .

can you really not create a PR or Merge Request as it's called on gitlab?

[untoutseul05]

Yes. I can do it on my own gitlab, I've no credential to connect to the official one.
So, it is easier to me to ask for the modifications of the Linux build script.

Concerning my LM22 upgrade having both libqt5core5a and libqt5core5t64, I noticed that libqt5core5a is marketed as "rc" when "dpkg -l" is run.  So, at some point, it is set to be removed.

Concerning the modifications in mkOSDistDeb-NN.sh, I will make the changes. Thank you!

rc means the packet is removed but there is some configuration files which are remaining.
you can delete them with

Code:

apt remove --purge libqt5core5a

or

Code:

apt purge libqt5core5a

in the file mkOSDistDeb-NN.sh, the ii state is tested.
it is equivalent to

Code:

dpkg -l | grep "ii " | grep libqt5core

On the configuration of libqt5core5t64,there is a ligne which says "Replaces: libqt5core5a"
So, when you install manually or during a update process, it uninstall libqt5core5a (but only remove not purge).
Normally, you can not have both installed.

mkOSDistDeb-NN.sh modifications are now merged in the master OSCAR code.

Re: OSCAR won't intall in Linux Mint 22
OSCAR Team member untoutseul05 has modified the install file and created a special version for you to try. It changes the libqt5core5a dependency to the system's current version. Here is the "deb" file for you to try. Just remember to purge your current installed version before installing this one.

Here is the download link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ifsytov28...f59ux&dl=0

Please post your results in the forum.

I hope this solves your problem,

We are working with Crimson Nape to do the modifications (same as the deb sent) in the official gitlab.
The problem is to make the 24.04 works without breaking the others versions.

[untoutseul05]

Modifications has been sent to the official git. Commit #91fd2b30 (and above) is ok.
