After upgrading from LMDE 5 to 6, I noticed that Gramps 5.1.5 as supplied in the official repo can’t find GeocodeGlib, even when I install it via Synaptic. Closer inspection revealed, that in LMDE 6, and Debian 12, the only available package is gir1.2-geocodelib-2.0, and earlier versions, and ubunt…

LMDE is a bit behind some other Linux distributions. It is a cross we have to bear or switch to Linux Mint.

How do you mean behind? LMDE 6 is based on Debian 12, not 11, so it’s ahead of the regular Mint.

On a quick search I found lmde 6 but no information about Linux Kernal or Debian version. So I jumped to a conclusion unwarranted. Having said that LMDE has never claimed to be a leading edge distro.

OK, I understand. And in most cases it is true, since there are more releases for the regular mint than for LMDE. This version however is really ahead, and it gives me a few challenges, that Debian Bookwork users may also see. But until now, it looks like I’m the only one with LMDE 6 here.

I filed a report, but didn’t check the prerequisites gramplet, because I’m still running 5.1.5. The prerequisites gramplet is new in 5.2.

Thanks for reminding me. I never add it to my dashboard, because I rely on the error messages that I get when installing things, or the ones that keep popping up on start, or are displayed in terminal. The Gramplet is too much for me, partly because it spends too many words on things that are OK. A…

I just noticed that you mentioned the geocodelib package in another thread: [image] Add-ons can give a bad initial impression of Gramps Feedback Before I apply the geocodelib package, I would like to find out why Plugin Manager Enhanced is complaining about the library be…

I have updated the Place Coordinate addons in the v5.2 repository to work with either GeocodeGlib 1.0 or 2.0.

Is there anyone else working with LMDE 6 or Debian Bookworm?
