dpkg: dependency issues prevent mintstick setup on ubuntu 22.04

[xenopeek]

Thanks for reporting. This will be addressed for Linux Mint 21.

The package you downloaded is built for Linux Mint 20.x, for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS package base. To install mintstick on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS now you'd build it from source, after editing the debian/control file to update the dependency.

solved 1.4.9

Note: I must install the dependencies

Focal:
apt install python3-parted python-parted-doc gir1.2-udisks-2.0 exfat-utils
Jammy:
apt install python3-parted python-parted-doc gir1.2-udisks-2.0 xapp exfatprogs

I fixed the dependencies issue to make mintstick work on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy)

Initial Installation

Download and install the mintstick package:

wget http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mintstick/mintstick_1.4.7_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mintstick_1.4.7_all.deb

If the application doesn't work, continue with the steps below to fix dependency issues:

1. Create a Directory to Work In and Extract the mintstick Package

mkdir mintstick_extracted
dpkg-deb -R mintstick_1.4.7_all.deb mintstick_extracted

2. Modify the Control File

Navigate to the DEBIAN directory and edit the control file:

cd mintstick_extracted/DEBIAN
nano control

Change the line:

Depends: gir1.2-xapp-1.0, exfat-utils

to:

Depends: gir1.2-xapp-1.0, exfatprogs

Note: You might find a line like this:

Depends: coreutils (>= 6.10-3), gir1.2-glib-2.0, gir1.2-gtk-3.0, gir1.2-polkit-1.0, ntfs-3g, parted, policykit-1, procps, python3, python3-gi, python3-parted, gir1.2-udisks-2.0, gir1.2-xapp-1.0, util-linux, exfat-utils

In this case, only change exfat-utils to exfatprogs.

Save and close the file.

3. Rebuild the mintstick .deb Package

Navigate back to the parent directory and rebuild the .deb package:

cd ../..
dpkg-deb -b mintstick_extracted mintstick_1.4.7_all_modified.deb

4. Install the Modified Package

Install the newly created package:

sudo dpkg -i mintstick_1.4.7_all_modified.deb

5. Fix Any Broken Dependencies

In case there are any broken dependencies:

sudo apt --fix-broken install
