Hello, I tried installing under MX18/stretch but got the following error:
Code: Select all
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
geany-plugin-markdown : Depends: geany-abi-71
Depends: geany-plugins-common (= 1.29+dfsg-1) but 1.33+dfsg-1~mx17+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
It seems there is some versions mismatch 1.29 vs 1.33 ?

Confirmed. When installing geany-plugin-markdown in MXPI, Stable Repo tab in MX-18.3:
Code: Select all
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

It seems that geany has been upgraded to 1.33 but some of its plugins still show version 1.29 though most are also at 1.33. The 1.29 plugins are debugger, devhelp, markdown, multiterm, py, scope and webhelper.
Edit: I just checked in MX-19.1 and those plugins aren't even in the stable repo. Maybe they've been deprecated from Buster due to not being maintained?
