I enabled the test repository to install Warpinator, but there were unmet dependencies.
What is the best way to install Warpinator, or do I need to download a flatpack?

I see there's indeed a problem with it, I'll have a look.

update: oops, I was a bit too fast there, it installs fine for me
Can you please give your Quick System Info?

Did I do something wrong?

I checked the box for the test repo and used the command line to update and install?

You have to install it from MX Package Installer, there's a MX Test Repo tab there.

Why are you starting a separate thread after you posted in the announcement thread?

You didn’t read the first post which says to NOT enabled repos to install this.

Also post the actual list of dependencies that are being complained about.

Apparently, enabling the test repository is not adequate to install Warpinator.
It looks like it wants me to enable an additional repository to be able to download python or python dependencies.

Which one needs enabling?

I think the problem is that if you do "sudo apt install warpinator" with the test repo enabled, it won't install the other dependencies from the test repo because they have priority 1, "sudo apt install -t mx warpinator" would work.

Please know that using MXPI has preference.

Last time, do NOT enable repos. Use MX Package Installer Test Repo tab.

Provide the list of dependencies your system is complaining about.

Enable Test Repository
Disable Test Repository

Solved!

You should know that MX Package Installer also does this, without you having to think about enabling/disabling repos.

Ok, now I need to figure out how to use the MX Package Installer if it will automatically enable/disable a required test repo.
