MXPI - Inkscape install fails.

Unable to apply some actions, aborting
fig2dev:i386 fig2dev

Update: tried a second time, still throws that error but install progressed. Seem to install okay. May that i386 package was throwing an error. It did install fig2dev.

OK

Is there any chance of having Stellarium as a standalone package, in the MXPI? It is bundled in with a lot of other apps. It's not just for children. I know it'a in Synaptic and the comman line, but that version doesn't play well with my graphics card and 4K monitor. The appimage version works perfectly.

Inkscape installs fine for me.

Have you tried choosing a new MX repo mirror with MX repo manager?

I had not, thanks for the tip. Which mirror would be best for the MX beta?

@j.kemp mxpi installs the same version of stellarium as apt. So does the app when installed along with the children's entry in MXPI work ok or no?

I didn't try that, I will on this beta test system. Before I went searching for Stellarium, I noticed it was bundled with other software that I didn't want.

I did install it from Synaptic but it would only run in very low resolution. Let me try to install the bundle and report back. The good thing about appimages they are standalone, and doesn't interfere by installing files into system folders, so I shouldn't have to delete it.
